This is my team
I did my PhD in psychology at Vanderbilt and have spent most of my career doing assessment and evaluation with cutting edge educational technology. Jasper Woodbury videodisks at Vanderbilt, GenScope Multimedia software as a postdoc at the ETS center for performance assessment and on the faculty at Georgia, NASA Classroom of the Future as a faculty member in Georgia, and Quest Atlantis, Sakai, and Project NML at Indiana. So of course I am thrilled to be working with what I think will be the most important technology of all.
I also study motivation and incentives, and have thought about badges a lot. I have done empirical studies of them in both Quest Atlantis and Sakai and hope to have them published soon.
I focus on the implications of sociocultural theories of knowing and learning for assessment, motivation, research, and evaluation. There is a research literature in each area that is directly relevant to the goals of the DML initiaive
This is my team,
Happy to be working with Shery Grant and others at HASTAC—you are in the hands of a very capable team there and we have had lots of discussion about how we can help serve both the initiative and individual projects
Also thrilled to be working with Mozilla. Erin Knight has been awesome. As I will show you Carla Casilli is introducing some very important ideas, and I understand that Peter Rawsthorne form England is joining the team as well.
Technically most of my work will be through HASTAC and focused on awardees. But there is an enourmous community of finalists out there who have been inspired by the compeition and are forging ahead as we speak.
