The Authors
Both Jason and Anthony are graduate students in the School of Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University, Surrey BC, Canada. They have collaborated together on many course assignments and are nearly completed their work. The Information Architecture Summit 2006 represents their first joint publication and fulfills a basic presentation requirement for the master certification. They are very pleased to have this opportunity.

Don’t Google me, unless you have an unhealthy obsession with the British Prime minister.

Google me, and you will get this http://www.sfu.ca/~jtoal/ , from there, you can find almost everything I have done at school and work. My combined background in art, design and education, gives me a unique perspective on “elearning”. I am currently working at Simon Fraser University, in an educational support unit, that delivers such solutions to the teaching community.
I have chosen the title “Experience Designer” to reflect my focus on users needs and intentions to involve them in the design process as much as possible.
I will be graduating with my masters degree in Interactive Art and Technology, in about a year or so, at which time I intend to apply my knowledge in some signifigant way.
