Prof made a fellow of educational materials society

A professor at Waterloo Engineering has been named a fellow of an international organization dedicated to improving the design and development of educational materials, particularly in mathematics, science and technology.

Dr. Alexander Wong, a professor of systems design engineering, joins educators from around the world as a fellow of the International Society for Design and Development in Education.

“The need for educational materials of high quality is now widely recognized,” the society says on its website. “If the classroom is to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for students, the nature of the learning activities is central.”
