The Purdue University Team
Team Sponsor: Peg Ertmer
Peg Ertmer is an assistant professor in Curriculum and Instruction
at Purdue University. As a former public school teacher and current
faculty member, Peg's work is directed toward helping learners
become better learners. Specifically this interest has led her to
examine the impact that specific instructional approaches/strategies,
including case-based instruction, have on both the processes and
products of learning. She has developed and used case studies in her
own courses and has served as a judge and provocateur for the 1996
and 1997 ID Case Competitions. She and Jim Quinn (University of
Oakland) have just finished compiling "The ID CaseBook: Case Studies
in Instructional Design" which will be published by Prentice-Hall in
August 1998. Other research interests include the development of
self-regulated (expert) learners, technology integration, and the
education of instructional designers. Peg's publications have
appeared in Educational Technology Research and Development,
Performance Improvement Quarterly, and Instructional Science.
She and her husband and 4 kids moved from Colorado to Indiana 8
years ago and still haven't figured out what humidity is good for!
