I am a professor in the Centre for Distance Education, and coordinate the Graduate Diploma in Distance Education (Technology). Previously in my career, I taught at AVC Edmonton (now Norquest College), and, before that, briefly in the K-12 system in Manitoba, and in the continuing education programs of Grant MacEwan Community College and Edmonton Public Schools. For over five years, I worked in the private sector for an educational technology company. Besides the Alberta Distance Education and Training Association (ADETA), I have in the past served on the executives of provincial and national adult literacy associations, and various aviation-related groups.
