I’m very excited about joining the FCPE team and working at Adelphi, where there are so many wonderful opportunities to support faculty in their teaching and scholarship.
My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in art history from the University of South Florida and a master’s in fine art in studio art from the Maryland Institute College of Art. My career in instructional technology began five years ago at Queensborough Community College (CUNY), where I was project director for the college’s ePortfolio initiative and a part-time faculty member in the art department. The ePortfolio project offered students an opportunity to create academic online portfolios of their work, which reflected their growth as learners and effectively charted their career and learning goals. As project director, I led the ePortfolio team and taught a range of topics to both faculty and students, including web-authoring, information literacy, and writing for new media.
Most recently, I worked at LaGuardia Community College’s Center for Teaching and Learning, where I was director of the Making Connections National Resource Center on Inquiry, Reflection, and Integrative Education. The center’s mission was to help educators at partner institutions advance innovative pedagogies on their own campuses. As director, I led faculty development seminars, organized conferences, and scheduled consultations with LaGuardia faculty leaders.
My expertise in instructional technology includes online and blended course design; knowledge of Moodle, Blackboard, Powerpoint, and Adobe Illustrator; and ePortfolios. In addition, I have taught a range of technologies used to facilitate online communication including discussion forums, wikis, chat, and blogs. I believe that the use of these technologies, when coupled with sound pedagogical approaches, can help improve teaching, build learning communities, and enable us to better know students and their needs.
I’ve only been at Adelphi for a few months, but I have already been made to feel so welcomed by Adelphi’s collegial and supportive community, a community I am very happy to serve and be part of. I’m looking forward to supporting the creative faculty at Adelphi in the use of instructional technologies and to helping them develop and design their online and blended courses.
