John M. Ashby, Educational Technologist

 

As an experienced Educational Technologist I specialize in the convergence opportunities offered by technology advances in IT, AV, and Consumer Electronics, along with their application to teaching and learning. With experience in managing multimillion-dollar technology budgets and diverse staff in higher education, I am also expert at directing resources toward the achievement of long-term strategic goals rather than simply "brushfire management."

Experience:

·         17 years Educational Technology management experience (academic and IT)

·         26 courses taught as Adjunct Instructor in Communication (video, photo, media)

·         Presentation systems engineering, videoconferencing and classroom design

Accomplishments:

·         Transformed 100% of Saint Louis University classrooms with standardized presentation systems

·         Initiated competitive preferred-vendor contract for institutional servers and storage purchases that saved $2.7M in the first year

·         Planned and deployed PC energy management technology to save over $200K annually with improved desktop security
