Project Management
The management domain is concerned with processes for controlling instructional technology, including management of resources, information, and delivery systems. Project management skills are highly desirable for managing instructional design, development, and utilization processes.
Performance Review
I worked in the Office of Institutional Research at Santa Clara University from 1988 until 1997, when I became the University Webmaster for two years. I then worked for a couple of years outside of higher education before returning to Institutional Research. Over the past couple of years I have managed a project to build a data mart to support reporting, analysis, and strategic planning at Santa Clara University. This required researching and implementing best practices in data warehousing for higher education. In March 2005 I presented my work to the PeopleSoft Higher Education User Group's national conference. This performance review from 2005 highlights some of my accomplishments and responsibilities during the preceding year.
Letter of Recommendation
Don C. Dodson is Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Communication at Santa Clara University. As Vice Provost, he has responsibilities in the areas of faculty affairs, interdisciplinary programs, research and sponsored projects, academic planning, policy development, and program review. He also serves as the University's Accreditation Liaison Officer for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
I have worked with Dr. Dodson for many years, and he was kind enough to write letters of recommendation in support of my doctoral applications.
