Ian Douglas
Biography:
Ian Douglas has a highly interdisciplinary background and has taught in 10 different countries on three continents working for departments of psychology, computer science, information technology, education, pharmacy practice, industrial engineering, and library science. He is primarily interested in systems design, particularly educational systems design – how we integrate people, processes, and technology to optimize educational outcomes. This touches on a number of technology-related issues including user experience design and knowledge management.
Professor Douglas currently runs ASU’s Institute for the Science of Teaching and Learning. The institute hosts a number of research labs and initiatives and is networked into a variety of teaching and learning research throughout ASU. The institute includes a partnership lab with the DoD’s Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, which connects to his work with standards on knowledge management of human performance improvement.
