I'm a Senior Learning Technologies Specialist with the University Library's Creative Spaces and Learning Technologies (CSLT) team, where I help faculty, instructors, and students incorporate various technologies into teaching and learning. I have a Bachelor's degree in American History (Ohio University, 1987), and a Master's degree in Instructional Technology (University of Michigan, 1992). 

I have special expertise in presentation design and research poster design, as well as audio/image/video editing tools. Since 2012, I have served as a primary resource providing support to Ph.D. and Master's students who are formatting dissertations and theses, and I maintain our Guide to Microsoft Word for Dissertations.

Since its founding in 1995, I've been fortunate to have played an active role with the Teaching and Technology Collaborative, a grass-roots organization of U-M academic technology support groups which, among other things, hosts an annual multi-day series of workshops and seminars called "Enriching Scholarship". 

Email (rpettigr@umich.edu) is the best way to get in touch with me, although I also pay attention to Google Chat.
