On Online Education and Catholic Social Teaching
Earlier this fall, I attended the annual EDUCAUSE convention in Orlando, Florida.

An Autoethnography of Collegium – Final Day
Final Day: Thursday, June 26th Here we are, at the end of a very long week. Long but fruitful.

An Autoethnography of Collegium – Day One
This post is a deviation from my normal posts to this blog. Instead of discussing research and ideas on various things media and pop culture, I am instead going to use this post to reflect on my week long excursion to a colloquium known as Collegium. My position is with a Catholic university, and this […]
