I work at the University of Calgary’s Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, leading a team that helps people teach well with technology. Over thirty-odd years in edtech, I’ve done a bit of everything. Built systems, migrated platforms for tens of thousands of users, prototyped tools nobody asked for, and occasionally published something about it. My PhD explored what video game design principles can tell us about how we teach.

Recently, a lot of my work is about digital transformation in higher education, and what that looks like when you care more about how people teach than about which platform they’re using. I co-chair committees on learning technologies governance and spend a lot of time thinking about how universities pick and manage their tools.
