Welcome to My Library
Open my filing cabinet of papers, presentations, and workshops.
The contents of this library are divided into three periods of my academic life: (1) Purdue doctoral studies in Educational Technology, (2) GWU masters studies in Educational Technology Leadership, and (3) my tenure as a business professor with Okanagan College.
Over time, I hope to convert and post additional archived papers and projects to the library. Please browse my latest additions using the links below, or select a category from the column to the right. Enjoy your stay!

This paper explores the theoretical bases for using concept mapping for learning and assessment, and suggests practical applications for using this cognitive technique in K-12 and higher education classrooms.
