Where I am writing next
I am working toward publishing in Faculty Focus, EDUCAUSE Review, and Inside Higher Ed, on a variety of topics related to the EdTech industry, instructional design, quality and accessibility in education, and AI-assisted instructional design. If you edit a publication in this space, I would like to hear from you.
