Buffalo, NY
I work SUNY wide to foster innovation that benefits teaching and learning with technology. My responsibilities include directing the SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant program, which has awarded 3.5M over 5 rounds to seed innovations that have "scale up" potential (including multiple OER projects), serving as a central point of contact for faculty who wish to create a MOOC on the Coursera platform, and helping to lead FLEXspace - the Flexible Learning Environments eXchange - a repository of learning space exemplars which has grown to over 2,000 users across 1,000 educational institutions from 25 countries. Happy to talk about any of these efforts, or sailing.
