Potential Graduate Students

The department of Instructional Technology & Learning Sciences welcomes applications from talented students interested in our Masters or PhD programs. Applications are due in January (doctoral) and May (Masters) for a following fall matriculation date.

Doctoral students who are interested in working with me should send an email query, describing their background and research interests. In 2013, I was awarded the University Graduate Mentor Award.

The following video clip shows some of my work with students.
