学术媒体发展总监
Biography
在拿到B之后.S. 加州大学水生生物学专业, 圣芭芭拉分校, Alex Ray worked as a field scientist conducting subtidal marine surveys with the PISCO Lab at the northern Channel Islands off the coast of 圣芭芭拉分校 and Ventura. The purpose of the surveys was to monitor and assess the effectiveness of marine protected areas in supporting wildlife populations and biodiversity. 一些结果和结论可以在10年后的cims上找到.
Alex ultimately left fieldwork to return to school to obtain his single-subject teaching credentials in biology, chemistry, 和加州大学的地球科学, Irvine. His work in the credential program eventually led to a master of science degree from UCI in Biological Sciences and Educational Media Design. This in turn led to his work on a multiyear National Science Foundation grant tasked with investigating the effects of arts-science integrated curricula on student achievement in earth, life, 以及物理科学. 结果尚未公布.
In 2016, Alex came to 欧文康考迪亚大学 to join the 创新教学和电子学习办公室 where he currently serves as Director of 学术媒体发展. 尽管他的职责各不相同, his academic and research interests are focused on efficient leveraging of media to support student learning in ways that weren’t readily accessible during his own undergraduate and graduate school education. Of particular interest to him is the concept of tailoring asynchronous design to meet students’ spatial and temporal limitations through the use of intentional versus opportunistic learning opportunities and matching them to appropriate instructional media.
Alex和他的妻子Jess和他们的两个孩子住在Dana Point. 当他有时间的时候, he enjoys free diving and spearfishing off the 加州 and Baja coastlines and, 在水上度过了美好的一天之后, 给他的家人喂刚从深海捕获的食物.
