Beyond Access: Why Corporate AI Training Requires Systemic Equity, Not Just Opportunity
This publishable paper, submitted to the AACE EdMedia 2026 Conference, explains why many corporate AI training programs that are “open to everyone” still favor those with more time, support, and access. It offers a practical equity-based framework to help organizations design AI education that is fairer, more intentional, and shared across the workplace rather than left to individual privilege. Link

Hypermedia​
This minor argument paper is an asset from the work completed in LTEC 6010 that questions the idea that hypermedia automatically improves learning by showing how non-linear, link-heavy environments can confuse learners and increase mental overload. It explains how too much choice and repeated information can get in the way of understanding, while also noting that hypermedia can still support learning when students are taught how to navigate it thoughtfully and regulate their own learning.

It focuses on the role of emotions and metacognitive processes in improving health literacy through short, mobile-based learning experiences. The study also explores whether microlearning can positively influence health behaviors and self-reported health outcomes. Link
