Biography

As an instructional designer with over ten years experience working in higher education, I have run several faculty professional development courses focused on elearning, blended learning, and technology integration in face-to-face classrooms and develop eLearning courses across the higher education academic disciplines. In my current position at University of Wisconsin Madison - within the organization WIDA in the Wisconsin Center for Education Research - I design and develop eLearning training materials for a mass audience of K-12 educators.

Previously, I had worked at University of Wisconsin Colleges Online in Madison as part of the state-wide team coordinating the design, development, and delivery of eLearning courses throughout the 2-year colleges across the state. My prior projects also involved coordinating instructional design and instructional technology integration of grant-funded programs, which included education evaluation, classroom technology implementation (iPads and laptops), outcomes assessment, workforce development, project management, and program-level instructional support.
