AIS Keynotes

Karl Kapp, PhD
Bloomsburg University’s Institute for Interactive Technologies

As a practicing knowledge broker, I frequently speak to businesses, corporations, professional societies, universities, and non-profit organizations. I also consult with businesses on topics related to the convergence of learning, manufacturing, and e-technology. I help organizations transition into learning organizations through the effective application of technology.

I understand how people learn and how to promote effective learning within an organization. I received my Doctorate of Education in the Instructional Design program at the University of Pittsburgh. The field of Instructional Design primarily focuses on the systematic and informal design, development, delivery, and evaluation of instruction in corporate, educational and governmental environments. This systematic focus is the cornerstone of my presentations and consulting work.
