I am currently a
professor of educational psychology and technology in the learning and
cognition. In addition to my faculty position, I am program
coordinator for psychological foundations of education.
My published works range from basic theoretical articles on human
learning to applied books on instructional design and technology. I am
editor of the scientific journal, Computers in Human Behavior,
published by Elsevier Science and now in its 17th year, as well as
serving on several editorial boards for professional journals.
My research and publications include topics such as cognitive
learning and complex cognitive processes, intelligent systems,
complex-dynamic simulations, testing and measurement, instructional
design, and advanced learning technologies. At the present time, I
am working with a German colleague on basic research in learning
complex-advanced knowledge.
My international activities include directing a
NATO-sponsored advanced research workshop in Barcelona and a NATO
advanced study institute in Grimstad, Norway—both on the topic of
automated instructional design and delivery. I have recently directed an
institute on technology in Athens and Kuala Lumpur. My other
international activities include twice receiving a Fulbright Research
Award to Germany and once to Russia. My teaching interests include
psychology of learning, technology-based systems design, evaluation, and
management systems.
