As a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech, Jason taught the university’s only film production course (at the time) for the Department of Communication during the Spring 2006 semester under the supervision of then-Department Chair Dr. Rachel Holloway.  It was through this teaching appointment that Jason also served as the "faculty liaison" from the Communication Department to the university’s interdisciplinary CyberArts collaborative, joining with colleagues in the fields of Art, Computer Science, and Engineering to co-mentor students in creating personally inspired digital art pieces for exhibition.  The mission of CCTAD is as follows:

"The Collaborative for Creative Technologies in the Arts and Design (CCTAD) brings together faculty and students in the arts, design, sciences and engineering for interdisciplinary research and practice in digital arts. Critically aware cultural practitioners, theoreticians, and researchers work across traditional disciplinary boundaries."  - http://ico.bukvic.net/main/cctad-initiative/
