Teaching

Courses, frameworks, workshops, and the games I build to teach with. The tools below are made for classrooms and professional learning — pick one up and use it.

Courses developed

Graduate and undergraduate courses I designed or substantially rebuilt, and teach.

2026
ETEC 565R — Making with Machines: Generative AI, Creativity, and Postdigital PedagogyGraduate course designed and taught, Master of Educational Technology, UBC.Thirteen weeks moving from small creative encounters with generative systems toward the design of educational knowledge environments, conversational systems, multi-agent arrangements, and accessible interventions. The aim is not platform mastery but practical fluency, alongside learning to notice how AI systems distribute agency, authority, and responsibility.
2026
ETEC 531 — Curriculum Issues in Cultural and New Media StudiesGraduate course redeveloped and taught, Master of Educational Technology, UBC.A course about the implicit curriculum carried by platforms, algorithms and data. It works through five orienting moves — understand, expose, resist, relate, imagine — and each week meets a new-media artwork, not to analyse it as an art object but to let it ask questions scholarship alone cannot.

Games and tools for the classroom

Built to be used in teaching. Each one runs in a browser, needs no account, and can be handed to a group as it is.
