About me
Wyl is a technologist who has spent two decades in a wide range of higher education contexts. Originally trained in journalism at Northern Michigan University, he developed a healthy understanding of rhetoric, earning an MS at North Dakota State University, and acquired extensive quantitative research skills while picking up a PhD from Michigan State University in Media and Information Studies, focusing on how new technologies alter communication in organizations.
His current work falls in two categories: Aligning program and course outcomes with market demands and employer expectations, and assessing program viability through objective metrics.
If you're sick of talking shop, Wyl also enjoys curling. He's into music (plays piano, guitar, bass), and will wax poetic for hours on the socio-rhetorical consequences of technological change - especially in religious and spiritual contexts. Oh, he also likes (good) beer.
