Products
As an Instructional Technology professor, I believe it is important that I stay relevant, up-to-date, and keep my technology skills honed. To this end, each year, I take on one or more projects. Below, I describe some of the products I have created as a result:
Adaptive Learning Model - In 2000-2001, I worked with Foxboro, a unit of Invensys, plc, to develop an enterprise-wide learning process utilized across all divisions of the company. The model I developed was based on Adaptive learning principles. My work with Invensys resulted in a double-loop learning model adopted throughout the multinational organization, for which Invensys, plc filed a Provisional Patent Application.
AET Zone - Dick Riedl, John Tashner, and I have been developing AET Zone since 2001. What began as a sub-section of one course has evolved into not only our online campus, but also an internationally-recognized model for innovation in learning technologies, and a patent-pending system and method of virtual instruction.
LES course evaluation system - The LES Course Evaluation System is an online version of the Leadership and Educational Studies departmental course evaluation form. I created this tool so that we could administer our course evaluations online and report the results in various aggregated formats. To view an example, please view the course evaluations provided in the teaching section of this site.
LES Online - LESOnline is a web-based course management tool I created to work in conjunction with AET Zone. Using LESOnline, students (and faculty) can create a personal profile, form a group, take notes, view course announcements, chat with classmates, or view streaming video demonstrations of software tools. For a more detailed description, please read the LESOnline overview.
LoW Submission manager - The League of Worlds Submission Manager is an online tool utilized by the conference submission review committee to read and review paper submissions. Reviewers log on and are presented with a personalized list of submissions to review. Attached to each paper is a web-based form for providing ratings and comments. Ratings and comments are stored on the server and the conference chair(s) are alerted when new reviews are submitted. To view a screenshot, please click on the thumbnails, below:

WordFlash - "WordFlash"
is a program I wrote for a doctoral student in the ASU Reading
Department to help collect data for her dissertation. WordFlash allowed the student to divide her participants into 4
condition groups. Each group was given a different amount of time
to view words "flashed" across the screen. The tool also allowed
the researcher to select from different levels and sets of words.
SafeSign - I developed SafeSign for the ASU Baseball team. SafeSign utilizes a unique algorithm and numerical signaling routine to provide a safe, clear, and unbreakable system for relaying pitches from the dugout to the players. Coaches use the online system to generate a set of codes (first image, below) that correspond to a card worn by the catcher (second image). New code-card combinations may be generated at anytime, allowing the coaches to use multiple code-cards throughout the game. Numbers and pitches are assigned randomly, making the system virtually impossible to track. The screen shots, below, show portions of the SafeSign signaling system:
