I have been educating IT professionals for over 15 years as a community college lecturer, and I have been educating persons in IT topics there years before that. Over the course of those 18 years I have amassed a wealth of experience in curriculum, course, and program evaluation, design and re-design. I was instrumental in helping my colleg get accreditation by plaing a pivotal role in the re-designing of our Computer Studies curriculum, courses and program.
In the area of Information Technology, I specialize in the following:
- Curriculum evaluation, design, or re-design
- Course evaluation, design, or re-design
- Program evaluation, design, or re-design
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or queries.
