As an Instructional Design Consultant for the Center for Teaching and Learning at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, I work with faculty on many instructional issues such as: course design, online course development, classroom management, active learning, learning theory, and assessment methods.

I have been fortunate to be involved in many national endeavors focusing on best practices in teaching. As a member of the Carnegie Foundation’s CASTL Program: Scholarly Inquiry about Active Pedagogies, our cluster group explored active learning pedagogies in universities across the nation and presented the findings nationally. I was also a member of the core team for the FIPSE grant: Promoting Strategic Teaching to Enhance Academic Competencies of Students in Transition Courses, which resulted in a professional development program for university instructors. Presently, I am a member Cohort VI of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research, exploring the use and best practices in portfolio learning.
