Welcome to my web page.  My name is Bill Sadera.  I am currently professor of Instructional Technology in the Department of Educational Technology and Literacy in the College of Education at Towson University.  I also serve as the Director of the Doctoral Program in Instructional Technology.  I have been at Towson for more than ten years now, and enjoy working with my colleagues and students. 

I spend my time at Towson, teaching classes, working with doctoral students and leading  grants and research projects.  I teach several classes in the Towson University Instructional Technology program, including: Utilization of Instructional Media (ISTC 301), Foundations of Instructional Technology (ISTC 541), Distance Education: Theory and Practice (ISTC 717), Critical Perspectives of Technology in Education (ISTC 715), Advanced Integration of Digital Resources (ISTC 731) and Research Foundations of Instructional Technology (ISTC 741) among others.  Please visit the classes page for more specific information about each of courses I have taught.

My research agenda focuses on two specific lines of work: effective online instruction and teacher technology preparation. I have written journal articles and book chapters on these subjects and have presented at National and International Conferences. Please visit the research area for a selection of recent work.
