I am working on automating the Culture Based Model. This web version will allow a little more accessibility to the information in the book but with my personal guidance. I am also working on some historical articles.

What is the Culture Based Model?


 

Great News! 
I have updated my website!!

My Thoughts on Learning
Globalized learning is the path of the future! Literacy is no longer confined to the pages of a book; knowledge can be acquired across worlds through the Internet. New information and communication technologies (ICTs) bring into view the need to develop innovative theories, methods, practices, models and ideas. Given this, my research seeks to provide some forward thinking in the areas of design, culture, literacy and ICTs.
