I have taught both graduate and undergraduate university students. I have also taught in industry settings, both corporate and non-profit. Topics I have taught include:

Instructional design processes

Integrating technology in the classroom

Product management

Project management

The history of instructional design

Instructional simulations

Human-computer interactions, user interface design, and usability practices

Learning psychology

But what I really love teaching is design itself. This includes the philosophy of design, case studies of notable designs, the history of design, design culture, the lived experience of designers, and practical design techniques. My experience as a practicing instructional designer helps me effectively mentor students in all of these areas. I also love teaching how to blend instructional design with other creative practices.
