About Me

Currently I am a Program Consultant with Continuing Education at Fanshawe College where I provide support and guidance to CE faculty and students.

I am pursuing my Masters in Education in Distance Education in order to better understand instructional design in relation to distance education. In turn, I intend to develop knowledge to better equip our own faculty members for the facilitation of online courses.

This portfolio will outline my ideas and opinions as I travel on this journey, starting with MDDE 610, Introduction to Distance Technologies.

Why MDDE 610?

When choosing programs courses, there are the usual list of compulsory and electives that are your options. However, what I found is that this is the first time that my learning is directly related to my employment and career.

As such, I've taken great pleasure in creating a course path that aligned with perceived gaps in my skill set. In the past couple of years, I've focused on instructional design so I can better assist our part time faculty. As I worked through these courses, it was decided that I needed to expand my knowledge outside of the institutional technology I was so accustomed- Desire2Learn, Outlook, Elluminate and Servers.

The decision to enroll in MDDE 610 was in hopes to expose myself to alternate technologies to develop current knowledge and identify trends that I can translate to my career and workplace.
