OVERVIEW  OF THE RESUME:  The remainder of this resumŽ falls into three sections, accomplishments as a professor in instructional technology, accomplishments during my five year partnership with the Army Research Institute and accomplishment during my four year partnership with Clarke Middle School.

 

CAREER GOAL:  Establish a partnership with a business that is doing innovative things with technology for learning.

 

ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITHIN MY PROFESSORIAL DUTIES:

 

I have a long list of innovations that I have led in the department. I was one of the founders of the Learning and Performance Support Laboratory. I initiated a new strategy in our computer-based training program called, The Studio. The Studio cuts across three courses and is modeled after an art or architecture studio. I initiated a Professional Standards Commission approved course for teachers to meet the new technology training requirement. This was accomplished with an online course. In addition, I have run a new program (the Technology Integration Program) for teachers who want to be smarter about using technology and teachers who want to become technology coordinators in their schools.  This program uses a flexible delivery model where every semester students have one online class and one class at a remote campus closer to the metropolitan Atlanta area.  My most recent accomplishment was to create an Instructional Technology Certificate for undergraduate teacher education majors. This certificate was initiated as part of a FIPSE grant.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN MY PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ARMY RESEARCH INSTITUTE:

 

Besides working on several grants and contracts and publishing several papers, perhaps the most important accomplishment was that we devised a method for developing cost-effective intelligently coached simulation training.  The content was device operation procedures.  The SINCGARS Tutor is now widely distributed throughout the Army for training purposes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN MY PARTNERSHIP WITH CLARKE MIDDLE SCHOOL:

 

This partnership focused on helping the school conceive of interesting uses of technology for learning.  Most of the effort was to use off-the-shelf software in the context of project-based learning.  A down side of our effort was that even though the approach was effective and highly motivating, the teachers would not continue doing projects without our support.  As a consequence, we decided to built some software that teachers would feel compelled to use everyday so that they would become more competent with computers (with the hope that this would then result in them using computers for learning more often).  That effort resulted in the EPSS called Teacher Tools.
