Hello, Im Dr. Joel Gardner. I am a scholar and educator in the field of instructional technology and design and human performance technology. This website shares some of my scholarly work, including my education, research, and teaching. I am currently serving as the Program Chair of the Instructional Design and Performance Technology Masters Degree at Franklin University. I began my career as a corporate trainer for a large financial services organization. Realizing my interest in effective training and instructional design, I pursued an MS and PhD in Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences at Utah State University. I have also worked as an Instructional Designer at Utah State in the Faculty Assistance Center for Teaching and as an Instructional Design Faculty Member in the College of Arts, Sciences, Technology at Franklin University. As a scholar, I have published several peer-reviewed articles on the effective use of instructional strategies and educational technology in a variety of educational settings.
