Research Interests

My interests are expert/novice research, online learning and teaching, instructional design, technology integration and teacher education. Most recently I've been examining active learning, mathematics education and TACTivities. TACTivities are tactile activities that can be done face to face or online and can increase engagement, communication and collaboration skills.
