Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of Florida, Survey of Architectural History (2009-present)Interim Instructor, University of Florida, Architectural Design Studio 1 (2009)I launched the inaugural online offering of this traditional face-to-face course in 2009 beginning with 30 students through the E-Learning in Sakai course delivery platform. Through several strategic course improvements, I volunteered to transition this course through a pilot program for early delivery in Canvas in 2014, which more than doubled 2013 enrollment. By the Fall of 2016, this course grew exponentially to accommodate over 550 students in each of the Fall and Spring semesters and over 250 students in Summer B, bringing course enrollment to well over 1350 students per year. Students enrolled in this course include UF Online eCampus students, traditional students on campus and high school students seeking dual enrollment credit.I was nominated for Graduate Student Teaching Award in 2012 for guiding this course through the piloting stage and ongoing curriculum development; the course itself was nominated for The Online Education Excellence Award in 2014 through the office of the Associate Provost for Teaching and Technology.

I worked with instructional designers to develop the Survey of Architectural History course for delivery in Canvas. I revised, improved and migrated existing course content to include development of new interactive Virtual Studio assignments focused on stretching critical thinking skills while still providing quality feedback and assessment for an unlimited or vast number of students. I completely revised course objectives, learning outcomes, peer-assessment options for large enrollments and cognitive skills integration to include more critical thinking objectives.
