I joined the University of Alaska eCampus’s Design Team in February, 2016. I’ve developed and led faculty development and course design programs, collaborated with instructors on innovative projects, partnered with academic units across the university, and facilitated community-university partnerships.
Needs Assessment
I initiated a biannual needs assessment program that includes surveys and interviews following the Lean Customer Discovery Method.
Intensive Workshop
I have led multiple intensive "iTeach" workshops on topics ranging from online teaching to problem-based learning. These events use active learning and collaboration to create high-impact experiences.
Digital Storytelling
I designed and taught ED-677: Digital Storytelling, a fully online course for students in the Online Innovation and Design Master's program at UAF. I built our course website on Wordpress and managed regular collaboration using Slack.
Teaching Tips
Teaching Tips are a weekly publication offering pedagogy and tool advice to UAF faculty. My Teaching Tips range from "Collaborative Annotation Tools" to "Reflecting on Your Teaching."
Immersive Design
Developed an immersive data-based storytelling presentation to contextualize student success for instructors in a program on gateway courses.
Program Portfolio
I develop and manage 20+ professional development opportunities for staff and faculty per year.
Community Partner
In addition to designing the logo and website for Alaska's LION Network, I co-hosted 2 three-day think tanks bringing together faculty, community leaders, incarcerated students and policymakers to improve carceral education across the state.
Collaboration
I co-founded a community writing workshop, Infinite Writers, that meets weekly inside the correctional center and biweekly at the public library. With my co-founder and students, I recruited, trained, and co-teach the workshops with 10 local writers.
Student Fellows
I developed and managed a summer "Graduate Fellowship in Instructional Design" that invited UAF graduate students to identify a pedagogical problem and then work with eCampus's Design Team to develop tool and practice-based responses.
