What are, to you, the key issues in creating learning resources that support your teaching style and your student's learning styles?
Building on and extending their interests and identities from where they are to places they want to go.
What is your vision for the "textbook" of the future and what impediments do you see to realizing that vision? Textbooks that are static resources (images, text, sound, movies), interactive simulations, and distributed communities of practice.
Describe briefly any research you have undertaken on teaching or learning. I've investigated learning astronomy through building virtual models, learning through participation in distributed communities of practice supported with distance television and more recently, learning through video-game based learning environments.
Have you created publicly accessible learning resources?
