I have been interested in online teaching, curriculum development, and instructional design throughout my career, and so recently enrolled in a Graduate Certificate program in Learning, Design, & Technology (LDT) a the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. LDT is a field that seeks to understand how people learn, and then to apply that understanding to develop instructional methods and materials appropriate to a specific context, content, set of learners, and instructional goal. As a developing LDT practitioner in Higher Education, I plan to support faculty as they develop course materials and integrate technology in meaningful ways; I also want to ensure that my institution leverages online learning and instructional technology to support impactful educational experiences helmed by high-quality faculty.
