Bio/Research
My current research interests include the relationship between technology and productivity, and what constitutes "best" (or even good) practice where technology is used for interaction. I have been working on an approach for analyzing CMC interaction for some time, which I hope will produce some principles for moderators (see below for papers on this topic). I have an ongoing interest in adult development programming (adult basic education, literacy, and English as a Second Language).
My interests in the training world relate partially to my hobby, aviation (I am an instrument-rated commercial pilot and Class 4 Flight Instructor), including the models used in aviation for instruction (especially upgrading and recurrency). Currently, I am the Alberta president of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), and a pilot for that organization.
