🛟 Online Course Design

To help teams and individual educators create better online experiences for their students, the Canvas LMS site for my most recent highly successful offering of SFU CMPT-363 User Interface Design (which was redesigned as an online and more scalable variation of the traditional 3rd-year face-to-face course) remains public. The source content for this course, along with the previous two offerings, is also available at the CMPT-363 Hub Standalone site built with the Docsify Open MultiCourse Starter Kit.

🙏🏼 Open Source Contributions

I also support several related open-source projects, including Mastodon, Docsify, Docsify-Themeable and Grav CMS.

☕️ Informational Meetups

As someone who has benefited from informational interviews very early in his career, I welcome similar requests for coffee meetups in #YVR when my extensive experience in higher education instruction, the craft of interaction design and professional consulting practices can be of value.

🌱 Always learning, always designing, always building
