Interests:
Of course I enjoy Net surfing and Web roaming, but I also like various sports (real, not virtual) such as golf, tennis, fly-fishing, skiing, and hiking. I'm interested in digital photography and post photos at Picasa and eSnips. I'm also interested in electronic music, digital audio recording, and podcasting.
My main professional interests are in open educational resources, the facilitation of distance learning, improving instructional design, applying educational technology, and using online instructional resources. I've been involved in computer-assisted instruction since the early days of mainframes and terminals. It's exciting to me that the reality of computer-mediated communications has finally caught up to the futuristic promises. In 1998 I authored chapter six on "Becoming a Better Distance Learning Student" for the Prentice-Hall book, The Distance Learner's Guide. A new edition of that book, appeared in 2004, released by Pearson (see the book's web site for references and links). In 2004 I co-authored a paper for the EDUCAUSE ECAR Research Bulletin on "Instructional Repositories and Referatories" (Vol. 2004, Issue 5, March 2, 2004).
I try to be multi-lingual when it comes to computing because I work with users who operate from many different platforms (Mac and PC/Windows, etc.). I've found it useful to know enough Unix and VaxVMS to get into the operating level of network systems but I am definitely not a computer systems engineer or systems programmer, although I do enjoy html coding and some basic Python coding. I like to try out new software, especially software that may have applicability to distance learning.

Here are a few general and computer-specific destinations that I like:
