I am now retired but am doing project consultations related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
My research interests are in theories of cognition, how these theories inform the design of instruction, how we might best design instructional technology within those frameworks, and how the research and development of instructional technologies can inform our theories of cognition.
