I am currently a Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology and Instructional Technology as well as Program Coordinator for Instructional Design and Development (IDD). I am interested in visualization, cognitive psychology, and constructivist orientations to instructional design. I have published extensively on the use of dynamic visualizations in the design of interactive learning environments. My most recent research is about the integration of computer-based microworlds, simulations, and games using play theory as the theoretical framework. I am now applying this research to support online learning environments and to help students with intellectual disabilities. I have written a book, "Computers, Graphics, and Learning." I am also "moderator emeritus" of ITFORUM, a prominent professional listserv devoted to instructional technology issues. I am a recent chair of the Special Interest Group for Instructional Technology (SIG-IT) for the American Educational Research Association (AERA). I am past-president of the Association for the Development of Computer-Based Instructional Systems (ADCIS). I am very active in the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT).
