In what may have been an ill-advised appointment, Colin Fredericks is VPAL’s Manager of Instructional Technology, a position where he is intentionally permitted to supervise other employees. His work consists in equal parts of advising a team of wonderful people, programming and tech work, meetings, and just, like, whatever, man. Colin is unnecessarily multi-classed, with a background including online course development, community radio, tabletop RPG design, martial arts, high school teaching, and educational research. At some point someone gave him a PhD in physics that just sort of sits there in a box. He lives in the Boston area with what is definitely a reasonable number of pets why do you keep asking.
