EDTEC 700

This post is my chance to introduce myself.  I’ve been teaching classes in our department since I graduated in 2006.  It’s the second time I’ve taught learning through blogs and wikis, and the third time I’ve done the podcasting class. However, it’s the first time I’ve combined the two, which is going to be a lot of fun.

I’m a self-employed eLearning consultant and contractor.  I make a lot of Captivate movies, and eLearning modules.  My business, Speakeasy Consulting, focuses on corporate learning and development, so even though I’ve had some experience in the schools I know that I’ll be learning from you all. This is a course on collaborative learning.  The way I look at it, we’ll all be helping one another learn.  This is a group effort.

I taught ESL during the 5 years I lived in Korea and Taiwan.  While I was there, my students called me Teacher Karl (which usually sounded like Teecha Kawl).  I’ll jokingly call myself Professor Karl now that I’m teaching classes online, but I don’t have a doctorate, and am not really a professor, so you don’t have to call me that.  It just cracks me up.
