My name is Jeff Nugent, and I am currently the Associate Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at Virginia Commonwealth University. At the CTE I work with faculty to explore meaningful and innovative uses of technology to support learning. I never thought I’d end up in “sales,” but I often find that is a large part of the role…getting folks to buy into the idea of using technology to do new things in new ways.
