Assist in the design of engaging, effective, interactive, and personal online and in-person adult learning experiences. Provide guidance and advice about learning technologies, interactive learning experiences, creating teacher and learner 'presence' in virtual learning environments, copyright and Fair Use as well as accessibility guidelines for online learning materials. Assist others to create virtual learning experiences that are not 'distant' but personalized and humanized. One of my areas of specialty includes combining online coursework with the use of social media, cloud-based tools, online communities of practice, and, in-person gatherings (when circumstances allow) to create learning experiences, communities, and networks- a learning ecosystem.
