Following are offsite links to OLIT student/graduate portfolios or other online presence. You will see that OLIT students and graduates have rich experiences in many areas of learning, design, training and technology.
Formally, all graduating OLIT graduate students hold Master's of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Education. However, because of the broad scope of studies in the OLIT Program, students may choose to focus upon a multitude of areas such as distance learning, instructional design, organizational learning, transformational learning, training, evaluation, e-learning, or knowledge management, to name several areas of study.
Presently, I hold a Masters of Science in Health Education and a Bachelors of Science in Occupational Therapy. My interest is to research the affects of technology in health information, self-efficacy acquisition, and the establishment of social presence. Technologies of interest include distance education, virtual reality, gaming, and mobile technology. My passion is to empower individuals in their learning, foster increased self-efficacy, and improve the adoption of healthy behaviors.

My particular interests include Cognitive Science, Visual Attention, and Interaction Design. I have many years' experience in Web Development and Design and am a firm advocate for technology that is heuristic, intuitive, and easy to use. In December 2011, I defended earning honors with distinction for my Master's Thesis, in which I identify the necessity for a comprehensive theory in technology design based upon human cognition, and in which I propose a theory of pattern that stands upon principles derived from empricial findings in Cognitive Science.

Presently, I teach adults online and in classrooms where I provide real-world experience to students from my 25 years of media work for advertising agencies and television stations. The OLIT program continually engages the student in exploring one of life's greatest rewards, learning. The transfer of knowledge is not just a classroom simulation, it's a real-world application of understanding to benefit human interaction and performance. We are all on a learning journey and OLIT brings comprehension to the adventure.
