GRANTS AND AWARDS
In 1999 I received a grant
of $3,800 from the Support for the Advancement of Scholarship Fund in the
Faculty of Education, University of Alberta, for the project Internet
Telephony in a Video Intensive Networked Instructional Simulation, to
investigate the use of telephone communications via the internet as an integral
component in a simulation of the junior high school principalship.
In 1999 I received a
Learning Enhancement Envelope (4) grant from the University of Alberta for
$14,400 to develop an alternative delivery mode for a course which provides an
internship experience for students in the MEd. in Instructional Technology.
In 1998 I split a Learning
Enhancement Envelope (3) award from Alberta Advanced Education and Manpower for
improving the online delivery of the MEd. in Instructional Technology with two
colleagues, Dr. Mike Szabo and Dr. Mike Carbonaro. My proposal was for
enhancements to two alternative delivery university courses on Instructional
Design. The grant was for $50,000, I received $16,666.
In 1998 I received a
Learning Enhancement Envelope (2) award from Alberta Advanced Education and
Manpower for the development of two alternative delivery university courses on
Instructional Design. The grant was for $26,656.
In 1997 my research
partners, Bill Maynes and Gordon McIntosh. and I received a Curriculum
Redevelopment Fund grant from Alberta Advanced Education and Career Development
for the development of a computer-based, video intensive simulation of the
junior high school principalship. The grant was for $403,383.
In 1996 I received a three
year grant from SSHRC under the Aid to Research and Transfer Journals Program
in support of the publication of the Canadian Journal of Educational
Communication. The grant was for $9,026 per year.
In 1995 I received a grant
of $15,000 from Heritage Canada, and a further grant of $7,500 from the
Software Alberta Society to further develop the Jean Talon Project social
studies materials.
In 1995 I received the
Leadership Award for that year from the Association for Media and Technology in
Education in Canada. The criteria for the award state, in part, that it is
presented to "an individual who has offered at least 10 years of
outstanding service in the field of educational media."
In 1995 my research
partners, Bill Maynes and Gordon McIntosh, and I received a University of
Alberta University Teaching Research Fund grant of $6,000, and a Scholarly
Activities and Research Assistance Committee grant of $2,500 to further our
work in developing a simulation of the junior high school principalship and
researching the use of simulations for learning.
In 1994 I received the
International Contribution award for that year from the International Division
of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) during
the association's annual conference in Nashville, Tn. The division's criteria
for the award state in part that it "recognizes outstanding leadership and
contributions in the field of educational communications and technology with
clear international implications and impact."
In 1992 my research partner,
Sharon Jamieson, and I received grants of money and equipment totalling
approximately $375,000 to produce the first prototype multimedia for the
federal government's Jean Talon Project and try these materials with teachers.
Contributors to this project included the Secretary of State of Canada,
Multiculturalism and Citizenship Canada, IBM Canada Ltd., and Alberta
Education.
In 1991 I was leader of a
team which received an Award of Excellence from the Association for Educational
Media and Technology in Education in Canada (AMTEC) for the development and
production of the interactive videodisc simulation Project Decide: A Simulation
of the Elementary School Principalship.
In 1989 my research partner,
Gordon McIntosh, and I received a grant of $50,000 from Alberta Education to
assist in the production of an interactive video simulation for Elementary
School Principals.
In 1988 I received the
Educational Broadcasting Bursdary for Canada for that year from the
Commonwealth Relations Trust in London, England. The bursary allowed me to
visit Britain for four months. During that time I investigated methods of
developing, producing, using and evaluating interactive video, television, and
distance education materials within Britain.
In 1982 my research partner,
Douglas Parker, and I received a grant of $50,000 from Alberta Advanced
Education to assist in the research and development of interactive videodisc
materials for teacher education.

1985 I was a consultant to Vicom Limited on a feasibility study for
applying interactive video techniques in training for the use of breathing
apparatus and respirators in hazardous gas atmospheres at the manufacturing

totally revised, video-based training program for this large tar sand plant.
