Similarly, Bolupe Awe (Academic/Publishing Consultant) described him as: "An internationally acclaimed scholar and an expert in instructional design."

Dr. Romiszowski, currently divides his time between the United States where he teaches in the Instructional design and development programme at Syracuse University, and Brazil, where as director and chief consultant of TTS Global Consulting, he undertakes a variety of course development, curriculum development, and organizational development projects in both the developed and developing world.

Research
Alexander Romiszowski is currently research professor in instructional design, development, and evaluation at Syracuse University. He also works regularly overseas, holding the post of visiting professor/researcher at the "School of the Future" Research Institute at the University of Sao Paulo,Brazil.

Most of his research and development projects are concerned with aspects of the application of technology-based training and education solutions, in both conventional and distance education contexts. His recent research has focused on the use of hypermedia and computer-mediated communication environments, often in combination, for the conducting of small-group collaborative learning methods such as case study and discussion, on-line and at a distance. This research is part of a wider agenda that is concerned with cost-effective methods of distance education for the development of critical-thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
