A curated list of things I’ve written professionally

AI Report

In 2022-23, I led the Digital Promise team that supported the US Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology on this report: AI and the Future of Learning and Teaching: Insights and Recommendations.

CACM Blogs

Other short writings

Researchers who are writing journal articles seems to like this infographic titled “U is a Beautiful Shape for your Journal Article.”

I enjoyed writing a pair of blogs for “3-Star Learning Experiences,” published by my colleague Paul Kirschner in the Netherlands called “Dynamic Representations in Mathematics Learning” Part One and Part Two.

My colleague Nicola Hodkowski and I enjoyed writing a research summary for teachers called Using Research on Homework to Improve Remote and Hybrid Learning.

CV and Biosketches

I don’t typically keep my CV up to date, but here is a recent NSF biosketch and IES biosketch.

Patents

It seems cool that my name is on a few patents. As far as I know, these patents have never been used for anything. The history was that my former employer, SRI International, pursued and was awarded these patents based on research conducted in our Center for Technology in Learning on the topic of computer-supported collaborative learning, especially with mobile devices. As is typical, the patents are assigned to SRI; I don’t “own” any rights in them.
