The doctor is in · Columbus, Ohio
Consulting at the intersection of audiovisual technology and how people actually learn. I help universities, integrators, and edtech teams diagnose their learning spaces — and prescribe experiences that work.
Services · Six channels
Every engagement starts with a diagnosis: how the space, the technology, and the teaching are actually working together. Then we build the treatment plan.
CH 01 · Spaces
Design reviews, standards, and support models for classrooms, labs, and hybrid rooms — from a practitioner who managed 100+ technology-enhanced spaces and reconfigured 500+ classrooms during the pandemic response.
CH 02 · Design
Multimedia learning modules that pair theory with applied practice — I've developed 50+ annually with faculty and multimedia teams, evaluated against Quality Matters standards and real learning outcomes.
CH 03 · Emerging Tech
Practical AI and VR programs, not hype: I served as product manager for AI learning assets, co-developed a grant-funded VR Lab, and wrote my doctoral dissertation on graduate instructors' self-efficacy with AI. Validate before you automate.
CH 04 · Access
Accessible, UDL-aligned course materials and AI-assisted accessibility workflows — making inclusive design routine instead of remediation, with the tools your campus already owns.
CH 05 · People
Faculty AI-fluency workshops, student-staff programs (I've supervised and trained 70+ student employees), and grant writing that has secured $20K+ for technology and professional development projects.
CH 06 · Voice
Keynotes, conference sessions, and columns — including the HETMA Day 1 keynote, InfoComm and EDUCAUSE presentations, and the "AI Insights with Andy" series for Higher Ed AV Media.
About
I'm Dr. Andy Vogel — Instructional Design Specialist and Emerging Technology Lead at The Ohio State University, with more than a decade in learning environments, classroom AV, and educational technology. The nickname stuck because I do what a good doctor does: listen first, diagnose carefully, and never prescribe technology the patient doesn't need.
My path ran from managing event centers and multimedia studios, to overseeing 100+ technology-enhanced learning spaces, to co-leading Ohio State's classroom pandemic response — reconfiguring 500+ rooms and upskilling roughly 200 faculty for hybrid teaching — to designing courses and leading AI and VR initiatives for the College of Engineering. That range is the point: I've held the screwdriver and written the pedagogy.
I hold an EdD in Higher Education and Student Affairs from Ohio State — my dissertation explored graduate teaching associates' self-efficacy with AI — along with an MA in Educational Technology and a BS in Integrated Language Arts. The "Dr." is official, and so is the AV.
