//About me and the site://
My name is William "Bud" Deihl and I am Senior Specialist, Learning Media Innovation, at Virginia Commonwealth University. My work and my role continue to evolve along with technologies, practices and organizational changes. Along with my own curiosity, this constant state of evolution is a source that drives my own experimentation and learning. Prior to my role in the the Innovative Media unit, I served as an Educational Technology Consultant in the Center for Teaching Excellence at Virginia Commonwealth University. My work is driven by my passion for media (particularly digital media), digital storytelling and learning. I have focused on free or inexpensive resources and tools to help faculty and students explore the power of narrative and use of digital media to tell their own stories (See my shared learning/resources). My work continues to explore the use of various technologies and practices to think about how they might be used to enhance teaching, communication, student engagement (both online and F2F), collaboration and learning. My research and creative experiments are done both in private and collaboratively, but until the past few years, the fruits of these labors were generally seen during one-on-one consultations or during special presentations,classes or workshops. This Wiki, called Making Learning Visible will serve as a place to share the current state of my research, experiments, examples and links to other resources. It will be an ongoing work in progress. Much of the work viewed here will be very sketchy, as I post initial notes, thoughts, ideas, etc. to be developed over time. I hope you will find it beneficial to your own learning and teaching.
