Biography

Amy plans, implements, and assesses faculty development programs for the improvement of teaching and learning, and she manages personnel and other resources for the Center for Instructional Technology. Since Fall 2010, she and her colleagues have offered an iPad loaner program for Duke faculty, providing classroom sets of iPads for exploration and innovation in teaching and learning. Through these programs, many faculty and hundreds of students from across the university have been able to experiment with iPads and explore the impact of tablet-based computing in their classes. Amy’s other interests are in course and program design; curriculum mapping and assessment; engaging teaching strategies for student learning; and e-textbooks and open learning materials.
