Bio

My major teaching and research interests are in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education and increasingly in Online Education. The pages linked from here include a list of courses with links to outlines and resources.

I grew up in Toowoomba and took my undergraduate degree in Chemistry among the first group of students to enrol on the now USQ campus in 1967. In 1970 I moved to Brisbane where I completed my Masters degree in Organic Chemistry at the University of Queensland while undertaking research at the Queensland Institute of Technology (now QUT). In 1973 I completed a Diploma in Education at University of Queensland. I taught and was Principal in Queensland secondary schools before joining USQ as a lecturer in 1991. During 2001-2002 I worked at Purdue University in the USA. Since returning to USQ in 2002 I have served in various administrative roles as wellcontinuing with teaching and research.

My current research interests centre on online education, integration of ICT in teaching, and the educational application of multimedia. My publications list includes links to the full text of a number of papers.

I am a member of several professional associations. During 1999 - 2001 I was Editor of the QSITE Journal, QUICK. From 1995 until 2001 I was chair of the Toowoomba Chapter of the Queensland Society for Information Technology in Education. From 2005 until 2009 I was Vice-President of the Information Technology Council in the Society for Information Technology in Teacher Education. Since 2005 I have been an Associate Editor for the Journal of Technology in Teacher Education.
