Schedule a Consultation

I support faculty and instructors across Brandeis in enhancing teaching and learning - in face-to-face, online, hybrid, synchronous, or asynchronous formats. My focus is on the intersection of pedagogy and digital tools, helping you think through how to design or redesign your course, assignments, or assessments in ways that support student learning.

Common areas I consult on include:

  • Course and assignment design or redesign (in any modality)
  • Integrating AI into teaching and course design
  • Strategies for checking student understanding and supporting effective feedback loops
  • Designing for academic integrity and inclusive learning
  • Scaffolding student learning for deeper engagement

I work with faculty on both short-term consultations and longer-term projects that span multiple courses or terms. While faculty are my primary focus, I also welcome appointments with teaching assistants and staff involved in learning or training initiatives.
