Commentary on emerging educational technology, instructional design, agile-ish web development, and life as I know it in Lawrence, Kansas. A work in progress.

Introduction

My name is Aaron Sumner. I've been developing applications and content for the web since 1994, particularly for education-related projects. In my current role at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning I manage web and educational technology research and development. On the side I enjoy photography, baseball, college basketball, music and bowling.

Projects

Stratepedia is an educational technology research and development unit at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. We're into web development, mobile technology, and social media. I contribute a great deal to a blog there as well.
Everyday Rails is a blog for people who need to build stuff with Rails and get on to their next project. It's a work in progress.
Sound Refound is an online gallery of promotional flyers for concerts. I've collected these over the years, primarily in the Lawrence, Kansas, and Seattle, Washington areas.
