Pedagogy · Service · Leadership

For more than two decades I've worked to make education more human — co-founding the journal Hybrid Pedagogy, founding the global institute Digital Pedagogy Lab, and leading academic strategy across universities and learning companies. I write, I speak, and I build community around a more imaginative, more equitable practice of teaching.
