His interest in instructional technology spawned from his early use of the mircrocomputer in the late 70s for instruction in science. Although his main research effort is in the use of the microcomputer-based laboratory, his interests have expanded to the use of all visual technologies. 

His most recent development, Science Junction, encourages all levels of interaction. "A cyber-community for teachers, students and researchers," Science Junction encourages inquiry based learning and teaching. In addition, Science Junction provides the resources necessary to support the North Carolina Standard Course of Study and the National Science Standards. 

As the organizer of the SERVIT group in 1997, his goal was to explore, develop, and research new instructional technologies in the pre-college science classroom and laboratory.
