Welcome to IED 336!  

I acknowledge and respect the Lekwungen-speaking Peoples on whose traditional territories the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSANEC peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

I am a 4th generation settler whose ancestors are originally from Ireland and England. My family mainly settled on the traditional territory of the Cree people (now known as southern Alberta) and my immediate family moved to the traditional territories of the Songhees people just before I was born. Over my life, I have lived on the territories of the Songhees, Cree, and Tupi-Guarani (in what is now known as southeastern Brazil). I grew up with two sisters and four brothers, and my partner and I raised our two daughters and three sons on the Songhees territory.

I have worked at the University of Victoria for over 20 years, and manage the Digital Scholarship Commons in the University of Victoria Libraries, and am looking forward to working with you this term!

My research interests include academic makerspaces, active learning teaching methods, flipped learning, and informal credentialling. I have worked at the University of Victoria since 2001 and taught various educational technologies since 2005.

The Digital Scholarship Commons in the library, helps the UVic community explore and express their ideas in ways other than text by making available digital tools like 3D printers, electronics kits, Virtual Reality equipment, and data visualization software, and teach individuals how to use those tools.
