He coordinates system wide technology task forces, such as "Ocotillo", consults with faculty on integrating technology, and develops special projects in multimedia and web technologies. His projects include on-line tutorials such as "Writing HTML", online application/review systems for internal faculty grants and faculty professional growth programs, web resources such as "Community College Web", "Multimedia Authoring Web", and "Director Web" and innovative projects such as the Maricopa Learning eXchange, Feed2JS, and the "Hero's Journey" storytelling web site. Back in October 1993, Alan launched the first web server in Maricopa running on a humbler Mac Se/30. A more recent project is the Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX), online virtual warehouse of innovation at Maricopa as well as recent experimentation with weblogs, wikis, RSS, podcasting, connecting learning objects with trackback, "rip-mix-learn", "small technologies loosely joined", digital storytelling, and "social" technologies.
