Welcome to my website. The carnaghan.com domain started its life in 1999 when I initially registered it in the hope of learning how to build my own web page. Back then I was really just beginning my journey of learning how to design, code and build sites. For many years this site was left dormant. Over the years I published some freelance work but it wasn’t until 2011 I started actively using it as a blog and began writing articles every once in a while. I also managed a different blog for a while called insidethewebb.com, but in the end I found I didn’t have the time for two sites so I merged the content here. Some of the earlier articles from insidethewebb were written by other authors. Today I use this as a space primarily for writing about current topics and concepts I am interested in within web development in general. I recently completed my doctorate and some of my more recent research activities have also been archived here. Hopefully some of what I write will be useful for others in my field, please feel free to leave comments on any posts you may find of interest. ...

See Academic Papers for a list of articles I have published on this blog through my graduate programs. Below, I have included my completed doctoral dissertation for anyone to enjoy. An Expeditionary Learning Approach to Effective Curriculum Mapping Formalizing the Process by Exploring a User-Centered Framework Monarch Academy is an Expeditionary Learning (EL) institution, which utilizes a non-traditional educational model that combines all subjects into semester-long projects known as expeditions. In order to properly track the progress of students and to ensure the school is meeting its educational goals, including alignment with Common Core, a process called curriculum mapping has been implemented informally; however, the process has not been centralized nor is it easily accessible by staff and administrators. Commercial curriculum mapping software was researched by administrators, but none met the unique requirements of EL. This study explores and defines a curriculum mapping solution that meets Monarch Academy’s needs by providing a centralized, accessible, manageable, and user-centered framework. ...
