Instructor/Adjunct Faculty Adjunct Instructor
Andrew is an adjunct professor in the Communication Arts Department at VCU, where he teaches Typography, and speaks internationally on the various uses of playful pedagogy in Higher Ed. Most recently, he’s shared his gamified teaching antics at the European Conference on Game-Based Learning and was the keynote speaker for Indiana University’s Teach, Play, Learn conference. His unorthodox teaching methods seek to improve student engagement using an array of game-based mechanics, including instructional games, side quests, and storylines.
Meanwhile, his alter-ego leads the creative team at the design firm Paragon Design Group, where he straddles the worlds of print, web, and motion graphics media, working for clients like American Express, CNN, Hasbro, and the National Geographic Channel.
