This repository packages Dr. Charles Martin's dissertation and the working materials needed to revive it into a current publication, thought leadership, and product/service platform.
The project focus is not interactive whiteboards as a device. The enduring value is the instructional framework behind the dissertation:
- vocabulary development for multilingual learners
- multimodal instruction
- pedagogy-first technology integration
- instructional design for language acquisition
- AI-era reinterpretation of earlier edtech research
