Ann Marion was Principal Investigator for Houghton Mifflin College Division, responsible for an ARPA-NSF grant focusing on research and commercializing of next generation instructional titles, and a founding member of the Educational Object Economy. She was a also member of the Strategic Planning Team on Distance Learning.

In 1993, Ann founded an entrepreneurial venture to produce breakthough interactive CD-ROM titles that integrated a video talking head with a hyperbook. The group was acquired by the premiere design firm Corey & Co. Designers, where she became a principal, and directed the company in undertaking new digital projects, such as launching web-sites for major clients.

From 1982 to 1992, she was involved in building authoring tools at Apple Computer, Hewlett Packard Labs, and Atari Research. She was Director of the Vivarium Program at Apple, which designed and implemented new technology in a model school of the future in LA. Programming languages enabled students to script animal behavior in ecosystems. She also demonstrated futuristic alternatives that students of 2015 may have on their desktops, such as a 3D version on a flight simulator.

Ann received an MSVS from MIT Film/Video and the Media Lab in 1982, and a BFA from Cornell University, in 1975.
