Greetings all, here’s a brief intro. I’ve worked in open and online learning for most of my career, including at the original BC Open Learning Institute, the Justice Institute of British Columbia, and Thompson Rivers University – Open Learning. I have a PhD in Curriculum from Simon Fraser University. I’m now semi-retired and teaching in the Royal Roads University’s online MA program in Learning and Technology, as well as in the new Open Education Professional Development Program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. I’m really interested not only in open educational practices, but also in audio, recording, and the use of sound in online learning. I recorded a few examples below and look forward to engaging with you all over this time!
