Rich is the manager of the University of Victoria Libraries Digital Scholarship Commons (DSC), and is a sessional instructor in the Faculty of Education. The DSC helps the UVic community explore and express their ideas in ways other than text and tell their research stories in interesting and engaging ways. The DSC does this by making available digital tools like 3D printers, electronics kits, Virtual Reality equipment, data analysis & visualization software, and teaches people how to use those tools. Rich’s research interests include flipped learning, makerspaces, informal credentialing, and open learning. Rich is part of the UVic Speakers Bureau and has presented at a number of academic technology and makerspace conferences across North America over the years. In his spare time, he reads, coaches soccer, sails & goes biking with his kids.
