EDAD660 (2010)

Welcome to EDAD660!  This blog will serve as the main repository for content related to the Winter 2010 version of the course being run in Cairo, Egypt.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Craig Kapp, and I’ll be your professor this summer.  My background includes a B.S in Computer Science as well as a M.S. in Educational Technology.  I am currently pursuing my terminal masters in New Media at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.

From 1999 to 2008 I headed up the Instructional Technology center at The College of New Jersey where I focused on developing tools to help faculty members find new and innovative ways connect and engage with their students.  I’ve also worked on a number of assitive technology projects for organizations that advocate on behalf of people with disabilities, such as the New Jersey Consortium on Deaf Blindness, Inclusive Higher Education and the New Jersey Alternate Format Production Center.  In addition, I’ve taught a variety of courses for TCNJ over the last nine years, including Authoring and Multimedia Software Development for Teachers, New Media & Interactive Computing, Web Application Development, and Introduction to Computer Fundamentals.

My main research interests include instructional and educational technologies, computer vision, augmented reality, web application development, data visualization and developing assistive technologies for people with disabilities.

I’m looking forward to working with you this January!
