My research interests lie at the intersection of user experience, identity, and e-Learning technologies. Very broadly, I am interested in how policy and design affect the user experience. I am currently working on accessibility and usability in educational technologies and the development of learning environments that ensure access for all learners. I am exploring how users are constructed within online contexts, and how certain groups are excluded from access to information on the basis of those distinctions. I see access as an issue of social justice, and am committed to promoting access to the creation, distribution, and use of information.
I am the program coordinator for the Masters Degree in Instructional Technology at Syracuse University
I hold a B.S. in English Education and a M.S. in Instructional Media and Curriculum Studies from Oklahoma State University and a Ph.D. in Educational Communications Technology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
