What Fred Is Working On Now

• Computational Thinking. It was my honor being invited to participate as one of the faculty learning how to integrate computational thinking into general education courses via the NSF grant awarded for this purpose at the University of Delaware to my valued colleagues Chrystalla Mouza, Lori Pollock, Kathleen Pusecker, and Kevin Guidry. This project led to the revision of my Internet Technologies course, for which I published the Kindle book entitled Computational Thinking on the Internet.
• Multimedia Literacy. I continue to revise the multimedia literacy course for which I have written this Kindle eBook.
• iPhone/iPad. I develop and maintain the iPhone/iPad app descriptively entitled iSeeNcode.
• eBooks. I have created a new course about eBook Authoring that resides at our educational technology course portal at www.udel.edu/edtech.
• Artificial Intelligence. To help students learn about the great promise of conversational AI, I am developing this new course about AI in Education.
• Curriculum. I am working with my ed tech faculty colleagues to offer graduate programs in educational technology at the master's and doctoral levels.
• Mountain Bikes. New "personal bests" are stimulating the biking industry through continual tuning and upgrading of my mountain bike's parts.
