Colleen Bishop is a Director of Academic Technologies at Virginia Commonwealth University. She possess expertise in instructional design, distance learning, educational technology, higher education, e learning and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Colleen is an exceptional candidate who stands head and shoulders above the crowd. In her role as Coordinator for PVCC's Center for Excellence in Instruction, she consistently goes the extra mile to promote excellence in teaching. Additionally, she always makes herself available to faculty in pursuit of the same. She readily instructs faculty in how to use technology more proficiently and exposes us to a wider range of opportunities to sharpen our craft. In all, she conducts herself with good humor and graciousness. Indeed, due to her diligence and reputation for quality work, the college regularly asks her to take on extra responsibilities which are not directly found in her job description. Many other employees would refuse these extra duties, but Colleen steps up to the plate, takes them on and "gets it done". I highly recommend Colleen to future employers. Thanks to her intelligence, caring nature, and expertise, any organization would be lucky to have her on their team. Sincerely, Kimber Leigh Hawkey Asst. Professor, PVCC" and "Colleen has been such an inspiration to me in my journey to become an instructional designer. It was upon working with Colleen on some projects while I served as Chairperson of the Adjunct Faculty Council at PVCC that I decided to pursue a graduate education in the instructional design field. I have learned so much from Colleen. She has selflessly given her time to take me under her wing. I currently work with her as an intern and witnessing her level of knowledge in education technology and design is quite an awe-inspiring experience. Regardless of how busy her day is, she always welcomes faculty warmly when they walk into the Center of Excellence in Instruction. Colleen always has time for them and it's clear to see that she's well regarded. I had the pleasure of attending a Information Technology Summit that Colleen and two other Blackboard Administrators at other Virginia community colleges coordinated together. I have been to many conferences--local, state, and national--and this was the first time I can say that I walked away with beneficial information that I can apply to the job. I highly recommend Colleen to anyone and everyone. She has a winning personality, loads of character and integrity, and tons of knowledge."
