|
| Carl Berger is currently a co-investigator on the Next Generation Internet Visible Human project, Professor of Science and Technology Education, and Academic Liaison and Director of Advanced Academic Technologies, Office of the CIO, at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Carl is a graduate of University of Denver, California State University at Sacramento and holds a doctorate from University of California, Berkeley. Carl has lived a checkered past starting as a research programmer on a UNIVAC in the 1950's. Realizing that computers were a passing fad, he left computer programming for teaching and curriculum design. He was a research scientist at Berkeley in the 60's, a public school educator in California, Director of Education for Detroit Edison, and Professor of Science Education at Michigan in the 70's. In the 80's he became Dean of the School of Education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. After 9 years of that kind of duty, he turned to something more fun... working with faculty and administrators at the University of Michigan (UM) in the development and deployment of instructional technology. He has served as President of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching and has sat on higher education advisory boards for Apple, Zenith, Addison Wesley and the Seaborg Science Center. Carl is currently board chair of the IMS Global Learning Consortium and serves as a UM Project Director for MERLOT. | |
