Alan Levine’s Summary

I've had 20 years of experience researching, creating, designing interactive content in both multimedia format (CD-ROM) but nearly dominantly, web-based environments.Fourteen of those years a year spent as Instructional Technologist with the Maricopa Community Colleges, working across a wide range of projects and programs, and having been invited to present across the USA, as well as New Zealand, Australia, Iceland.

I'm most interested in creative systems, interactive environments, and technologies popular outside of education that ought to come in. I am an addict of blogging, tagging, and sharing everything ever creative under Creative Commons licenses.
