Since then Ken has developed courses in computer fluency, management information systems, digital media, object-oriented programming, web design and web development, with enrollments in his classes growing to over 2,500 students per semester. He developed one of the first online courses at FSU in 1998, and has been devoted to developing effective online teaching systems and methods ever since. In 2008 Ken assumed the position of Director for FSU’s new Program in Interdisciplinary Computing where he worked with colleges and departments across campus to determine what computer and information technology skills and knowledge are needed in their disciplines and provided courses to meet those needs. During this time, Ken expanded his interests to digital fabrication (3D Printing), Virtual Reality, and Design Thinking. Ken directs FSU’s new Innovation Hub which is designed to support students from all disciplines, working together, utilizing the latest technologies and Design Thinking to confront the demanding and complex problems of our day. Ken has authored several textbooks, produced a weekly tech news podcast for tech teachers and has worked with Cengage Learning to design an online learning framework for Intro Computer courses titled Emerge with Computers.
