John graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a Bachelor’s degree
in mechanical engineering and a Master’s degree in Ocean Engineering. His work
experience includes the oil industry as well as government, but he went to the
Marine Institute from the Faculty of Engineering. He now teaches mechanical
engineering courses in the School of Maritime Studies as well as the Bachelor of
Technology. For the past 10 years he has been working and publishing on the
development and application of e-learning technologies and methods. John is a
recipient of the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching at Memorial
University, the granting of this award being based largely on courses he
delivers using technologies like the Möbius Platform. In our latest podcast,
John chats with Jim Cooper, CEO of DigitalEd, about how to implement online
education in a heavily-regulated industry.
