Research Philosophy
Explicit evidence is imperative to sustain, prove or disprove theory and ideas. To quote the words of Aristotle,"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." My research is defined by critical investigation that is directed towards helping human beings learn through information and its new digital mediums. My projects, publications and experiments are conducted relative to a field, problem or activity, but pedagogically rich in delivery.
I advocate non-traditional research mediums in publishing and presentation. Inventive channels of collaboration, as well cooperation, are strong philosophies in my research work. Through peer review, I seek to distill objectivist reasoning in deductions or deliverables of work. I encourage cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, all through networks of funding, resources and common professional interests.
Teaching Philosophy
Albert Einstein once said, "I do not teach anyone, I only provide the environment in which they can learn". A profound thought by Einstein speaking in quotidian nature about the demanding commitment of teaching. Students today acquire skill in personal learning communities designed by instructors, and facilitated by mixtures of information rich technologies. As I design curriculum and facilitate pedagogy, I seek to build learning communities that help learners to intelligibly design, manage, and remix rich information in professional realms. I strongly believe if learners build foundations in computing, they will be prepared to apply strong solutions to theoretically and virtually any field, or discipline in information economies.
