Wrangler of learning technologies by day, Dad, cyclist, soccer fan and, lately, home roaster of coffee by night. INFJ.

My educational interests include network learning, social learning, open education and open educational resources. I hack a bit of code now and then, mostly WordPress, and like to play with the web, trying to figure out how this internet thing can be used for teaching and learning.

I am the Manager of Educational Technologies at BCcampus, working primarily on open education projects.

Hi! I'm new to MAHEAL this spring (2016) and really excited and interested to be joining the teaching faculty in this program. I've been at the School of Leadership Studies for the past two years completing  multi-case study on leadership in the health care system in Canada. A bit about me: I've been in the academic world for a while, winding my way through various projects and community engagements. I love teaching graduate methods so this will be fun. I love to cook on my time off, and I have a beautiful garden here in Victoria. I took up running 3 years ago (what  a blast) and I have done iyengar yoga for about 20 years (time flies). I was born in Argentina, but I've been Canadian since I was 10 years old. I have a partner of 22 years and a daughter who lives in Calgary.

I have a three-year-old, which brings me a new topic on inter-generational communication (e.g. how to better understand the body language of a little one), besides my research on organizational and intercultural communication.

I started to work on MAIIC-OC (Master of Arts in Intercultural and International Communication-on camp program) as program head last summer, and found it very exciting. I am always keen on learning about different programs and courses development.

Having been living in China, Germany, the U.S. and Canada in last decade, intercultural communication and organizational challenges are the key themes of my teaching, research, and personal life. I will be developing the course HEAL 535 Communication and organizational culturein a localized world. I look forward to working with you all :-)

Hi Everyone!

I've been teaching with RRU in the School of Environment & Sustainability since 2010 teaching about sustainability, environmental communication and systems thinking, and research. Prior to coming to RRU I've worked as a consultant in education and sustainability internationally, taught in the educational system from K-Masters, trained teachers in Bhutan and started The Green School in Scotland to model teaching through the lenses of systems thinking, sustainability, experiential education and holism. For the past 2 years I've been Acting Program Head for the MA in Environmental Education and Communication (MAEEC) so I'm very excited to pull all these experiences together in writing HEAL 550 (Educational Systems Planning)!

I live on Salt Spring Island and while not academically focused I love to run, bike, sail, kayak, ski and travel. I have 3 wonderfully well rounded kids in university at their BSc, MSc, and PhD levels - and I'm just back from a month trekking with my eldest daughter to Everest base camp :).

Associate Faculty wannabe

I like pina coladas, and walks in the rain with my husband of 22 years, two teen aged sons (when they'll deign to join us) and Sam, our 10 month old black Lab. I don't like Bob the bearded dragon who adopted us just a month ago...but I'm getting used to him. Mohammed Li, the Betta fish (old name was "Siamese" fighting fish...get it?) was also a rescue and is my second favourite pet.

I've been working at RRU since 2004 in a variety of roles in keeping with my erratic career path through post-secondary education in Canada. I'll be developing MAHEAL 540: New Models of Institutional Viability and am sooo excited about this opportunity!

PS I am sideways on purpose (NOT!)

Because Samantha has already posted a picture of me (hiding in the background of the photo she posted), I thought I’d share a picture of someone more interesting – my pal, Merlyn. I share my home with him as well as three dogs and a cat. At the moment, we’ve got only two children living with us (the number fluctuates and has been known to go as high as five). When I’m not at home or in the office, I can usually be found wandering up and down local beaches searching for sea glass, or out walking the dogs. I’ve been at RRU in a variety of roles since 2000 and will be developing HEAL 560: Quality, Accountability and Educational Effectiveness.

I've been with my husband for 27 fabulous years! We have a blended family of 5 girls, 7 grandkids and Boris Ruski, our cat. I semi-retired in 2012 after 26 years in higher education to 'follow my bliss'. Now, I do educational consulting, preferably in warm climates (I am currently in Texas with the Texas-sized coffee mug!). I also do employee wellness consulting, coach athletes in a variety of sports, core fitness and yoga and I train and race as an endurance athlete. In education, my passions are learning, leadership, integrity, and courage. I will be developing and teaching HEAL 501: Leadership and Learning in Higher Education. I am delighted to be a part of MAHEAL and look forward to working with y'all!

I’m another new recruit to RRU. Spent 17 years at TRU as a faculty member and administrator, then elsewhere in the province doing admin in the public PSE sector.  I teach online, I write (got a new edited collection out this month), and I consult to the PSE sector across western Canada.

I live in Strathcona, on the edge of Vancouver’s Chinatown and DTES with my wife (a former/sometimes RRU Assoc.Faculty).  Like George, I’m a runner who loves good craft beers. I collect small souvenir towers, especially the kind with thermometers on the side.  I’ll be developing ADML 530, which looks like it will be a gas.

I am new to RRU, and looking forward to this latest adventure. I have worked in international education for quite a long time, and value the opportunities I've had to carry out work in other countries because I believe that there is much to be learned from studying education and its processes in a variety of contexts. I guess it's fitting that I will be developing HEAL-545 The Business of International Education.

I live in Ladner BC with my wife and youngest child. The other kids occasionally come home from university too, just to keep things lively.

# data[].attributes.body
Married for 11 years (holy moly) and father of 2 daughters (10 and 6 years old both going on 21).

I have been hanging around RRU since 2003 but only officially worked here for 18 months (in IT). Since then I have been teaching courses in Justice Studies, MAIIC and for the ISC as well as courses for the UNHCR.

Outside work and family I am the VP of the Victoria International Busker Festival. You might also see me at the gym and my office which people insist on calling the Habitat Café and serving food there.

I'm the guardian of 2 furry felines and husband of the Energizer Bunny for 23 years.

I've been working at RRU since 1999 in various faculty and leadership roles. For MAHEAL, I'm developing the first research course in the program, HEAL510: Approaches to Research in Higher Education and the capstone course, HEAL610: Leading and Sustaining Collaborative Inquiry Processes as well as HEAL525: Global Perspectives on International Education. I'm looking forward to working with such a dynami course development team!

In my spare time, I like to ride my bike in exotic destinations, take lots of photos, and do anything in the garden that my wife tells me to do.

Mom of 2, I have been at RRU for over 11 years. I manage school-wide/-specific things like meetings, hiring, budgets and our Advisory Council. I will see you for lunch next week and look forward to hearing about the sharing that will have been done by that point! :) (And don't be afraid of Jo in the background... She's smiling!)

I am married (20 years), three children and a dog Cloe. I have worked at Royal Roads for 3 years. I have been a Program Coordinator for 2 years. I will be your first point of contact for anything contract or invoice related. I also do all the scheduling for our programs as well as coordinate the residencies along with the program associate for this program. If I am not answering my emails, I am probably meeting with various departments around campus such as marketing, CTET and student services. Until we have a program associate for this program, you can contact me for all inquiries. I look forward to meeting you all next week.
