Areas of Research
My interdisciplinary program of research focuses on complex learners and innovative designs for open learning and participatory pedagogies that sponsor collaborative knowledge building, intellectual engagement, and adaptive learning with technology. My current projects include National Leadership of supervision and mentoring development, graduate student experience, peer mentorship for graduate students and post-doctorate scholars, and research-based learning in graduate school.
Design based and action research on facilitating active and deep learning through the creation, design, use and evaluation of learning processes and systems using technology, and the innovations and changes required in education to sponsor deep learning using technology.
Action, evaluative and case study research in this area includes collaborative design teams for online and blended learning in graduate education, peer mentoring, academic publishing and ethics in online research.
