Instructional Design E-Learning
In September 2019, I began working with other veteran educators and connected learning specialists to create a scalable, evidence-based pedagogical framework to create meaningful educational experiences for tertiary education.
In December 2019, we flew to Jordan for the first phase of the project: a 5 day training program for professors, e-learning professionals, and the directors of e-learning centers from the public and private universities in Jordan. |
I am honored and awed to be a part of this project. Education changes lives, and to be a part of a project of this scope and that will affect so many lives is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Education in Disruption
This is a topic that I've been thinking about since I was first inspired by watching Shift Happens in 2007. Since that time, I've continued to be inspired by other educators also reimagining possibilities in education, see Education and Education Disruption. And I have given many talks and workshops, including Tech Trends in Education, UN NGO CELL: What is the Best Way to Educate People?, and Transform Your Teaching: Use Twitter to Develop a Personal Learning Network.
In 2014, I organized a discussion series as part of the HASTAC's #FutureEd multi-institutional, worldwide forum based on Cathy Davidson's MOOC on the "History/Future of Mostly HigherEd" at Fordham University. Over the 6 weeks the MOOC was in session faculty and staff co-facilitated sessions held concurrently on both campus. Over 100 community members participated in the project, see Fordham EdTech Resource: Events.
In January 2020, the Reimagining Higher Education pilot launched at Fordham that aims to contribute to the creation of an innovative and connected culture at Fordham, equipped to reimagine the Jesuit University for the 21st Century. I was selected to participate in the reading group, see syllabus, and will be attending the speaker series throughout the spring semester.

Wikipedia for Educators
I founded Wikipedia for Educators at Fordham in the fall of 2016 after attending a session organized by Professor Harold Takooshian, PhD with Lane Rasberry on Writing for Wikipedia: Why & How. The open group is made up of faculty, staff, students, and NYC community members. We support and promote the use of Wikipedia in the classroom, organize edit-a-thons on campus and promote Wikipedia events in the community.
