I am a chemical educator. My primary interests and expertise relate to the role of technology in teaching and learning and team-based guided inquiry. I have published several collaborative inquiry lab manuals and am co-editor for MERLOT Chemistry. I am a lecturer IV and have been lab coordinator of the general chemistry lab program at the University of Michigan for several decades. In a typical academic year I instruct 2000 students enrolled in the introductory general chemistry lab program and supervise 30 - 40 graduate students who are primarily new to teaching. I won a Smithsonian award for developing coLABnet (collaborative laboratories thru networked computers). CoLABnet is a system that allows teams to enter both qualitative and quantitative data across classrooms. Students use the collated data collected across different classrooms to solve problems. Solutions can be obtained by automatically transfer the data into Excel and are presented using PowerPoint in a team-centered discussion. Currently the course serve some 2000 introductory students in a given year.
