Creative Works:

The development of a virtual Community of Practice called “A Community of Scholars.”  This CoP was developed specifically for ODU graduate students to share knowledge and best practices on their journey to become scholars. The virtual environment is developed in Moodle 2.71.

The development of a working template called ‘CoP Development Canvas’ to guide the Community of Practice creation process by identifying the critical elements that promote effective communities of practice.  This ‘canvas’ has been implemented in the development of CoPs for organizations, my college teaching, MOOC development.

MOOC Development: Worked with researchers at The Wharton School Executive Education Program at the University of Pennsylvania to develop a MOOC using NovoEd learning environment.  In addition to the platform development depicted below, five tutorials were developed to introduce complex subjects.
