The most effective digital teaching content: (1) applies current learning science to map learning paths and to provide appropriate feedback and scaffolding; (2) embodies the insights of educators (and their students) in the writing and fine details of instruction and assessment; (3) employs data-analytic technology that tracks and responds to learners' actions. My specialty: Efficiently combining these three strands to design, develop, and test educational content. I have extensive experience in college textbooks and digital solutions, especially in mathematics, physical science, computer science, and engineering.
