I am responsible for overseeing GGC's implementation of Bb Vista. and our new implementation of Blackboard Learn. I work with University System of Georgia and Blackboard staff, and with GGC faculty and OET in all things dealing with GGC Blackboard use.
In addition to my LMS Admin duties, as a member of GGC Center for Teaching Excellence, my focus is on faculty development and training: helping faculty appropriately incorporate technology in their teaching.
Before coming to GGC, I served for six years as WebCT Admin and as an Instructional Technologist at Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta. Prior to moving into Instructional Technology on a full-time basis, I taught college-level English as a Second Language for thirteen years (1988-2001). He was a tenured Associate Professor at Georgia Perimeter College (formerly DeKalb College).
While at GPC, I focused on the use of technology in teaching, a leader in the development of online -- WebCT-based courses at GPC with my own courses, and with the school's overall online effort. I developed GPC's first online course, a Web-based ESL reading course, and later also developed an on-line ESL composition workshop. I was a Faculty Mentor in two of GPC's Online Fellowship programs.
Chris and I came to Atlanta after five years abroad, in Cairo, Egypt, where I completed the MA TEFL program at American University in Cairo with a Graduate Student Fellowship, teaching one EFL class each quarter. Once his MA was completed, I taught at AUC for two years, where my students were college graduates who needed English in order to qualify for further training or advanced degrees in their field.
Prior to Egypt, I received an MDiv (Master of Divinity) at Columbia International
University, in Columbia, SC. In addition to theological studies, my emphases were cross-cultural communications, Islamics and counseling.
For three years after college graduation, I taught in Palau, Micronesia, in my first extended overseas experience, teaching English and Bible, and studying the Palauan language and culture. It was there that I met met my wife, Chris. We married shortly (very shortly) after our return to the States.
My undergraduate degree is from Erskine College, where I double-majored in Bible and English with Secondary Education credentials. I grew up in South Carolina, where my mother, two brothers and a sister still live. I am married and have two grown daughters and a new son-in-law. February 6, 2010
