I teach in the area of computing (mostly the softer side of things) and research in the field of learning technologies. I manage the School of Computing & Information Systems
About me
I am a full professor and Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment in the School of Computing & Information Systems, and a member of The Technology-Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute at Athabasca University. I am one of the creators of the Landing. I am a UK National Teaching Fellow and member of the International Federation of National Teaching Fellows. My latest book, How Education Works: Teaching, Technology, and Technique, was published in June, 2023. My previous books, Teaching Crowds: Learning and Social Media (2014), and Control & Constraint in E-Learning: Choosing When to Choose, (2007 - it's better than the title and cover suggests!) are still available from the publishers. You can find out more about me and read my blog at https://jondron.ca
Your profile is the view that you present of yourself to others. Apart from your name (that you can change in your settings) it is entirely up to you who sees what. If you only want a couple of people to see your phone number or avatar, for instance, simply change the access control settings for those items.
You can add widgets and tabs to your profile. Each widget and each tab can have different permissions and be visible to different people. The only tab that must be visible is your default profile tab. You can drag tabs around. Visitors will, by default, see the first tab on the left if they have permissions to do so.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.
