I have been a radiographer since 1972 and in my professional career; I have spent roughly half that time in clinical practice and half in education. My graduate degree from New York University is a master of arts in Education Communication & Technology. In my current role at NC, I teach in the radiography certificate program and I am the lab director for the energized radiology labs on campus. I believe that the learners that I work with must complete their educational experience with strong concepts in their chosen field, but just as importantly, with the skills to maintain those concepts by learning how they learn. This, more than anything, will allow them to be effective practitioners who will be able to accommodate the rapidly changing technological advances in image sciences.

I am a graduate student at Texas State University studying adult education.

Dr. James Zimmerman - is the Director of the Christian A. Johnson Institute for Effective Teaching at Rollins College. A nuclear chemist with a long interest in learning and teaching issues, James has participated in faculty professional development activities at the local, national, and international level. These activities have included developing a Teaching Fellowship program that supports faculty interested in SoTL studies, designing assessment protocols for multi-campus projects, the mentoring of university and college faculty team projects designed to improve college learning environments with an emphasis on addressing issues that often discourage women and minorities from pursuing study in the sciences or mathematics, and presenting the NSF-sponsored Multi-Initiative Dissemination (MID) project curriculum to cohorts of science faculty from a wide-range of academic institutions. Dr. Zimmerman has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in general, nuclear, and physical chemistry and has won several university awards for his teaching. His scholarly agenda currently includes program, project, and classroom assessment, integrative learning theory, and traditional faculty development. He comes to Rollins from Montclair State University where he served as the Associate Director of the Research Academy for University Learning where he worked with the Academy’s founding director, Ken Bain, author of the best selling book What the Best College Teachers Do.

I am a Systems Analyst and Project Manager for the Office of Technology Services at the University of Baltimore. I work within the Office of Instructional Technology and manage many academic-facing, technology-based projects across campus.
