Bio:
My research interest is in the areas of multimedia and cognition, online instructional design, and technology integration for K-12 schools. In multimedia I am interested in determining the optimal condition for multimedia learning as measured by cognitive load. I am particularly interested in learners' ability to solve multiple rule-based complex problems facilitated by multimedia. Another line of research is Web-based instructional design and development. My recent studies involve online instructional design and modeling that focuses on the effectiveness of various online instructional models and the cybergogy associated with the delivery of various online instructional models. I am interested in K-12 curriculum and educational technology integration. I was the PI and grantee of PT3 Implementation Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education ($249,000; 2001-2004).
