Hello classmates (and other folks who many stumble upon this site),
Welcome to my blog for the course AHE 602 - Special Topics in Higher Education, MOOCs. Throughout the fall 2013 semester I will keep this blog updated on a regular basis with thoughts and opinions from the coursework each week. While my only experience in the realm of MOOCs at this point is the non-completion of a MOOCs class, I hope to broadly expand my knowledge base and practical experience involving MOOCs this semester.
About Me:
I am currently in the doctoral program for Instructional Leadership with a concentration in Instructional Technology. I have a hodgepodge educational and professional background. My BS is in Management Information Systems, and I also have a MA in Community Counseling. For a couple of years I worked in IT project management for a major bank, and then came back "home" to UA. For seven years I worked in CCS, managing data for the department of Academic Outreach. Last year I accepted a position as the Assistant Director of Research and Biographical Records in Advancement Services.
Personally, I'm huge animal lover and have three dogs and two cats. I also have a husband, Andrew, who some of you may know as he also works on campus. Coinciding with this semester is our attempt to renovate/remodel a house we recently purchased (and hope to move into before Christmas). My chronicles of this will likely invade my twitter feed as I am also trying to blog that experience.
I look forward to learning more about MOOCs and also interacting with all of my classmates this semester. See you all soon!
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for a great intro! I'm pleased to know more about you, both personally and professionally, and am looking forward to working with you this term, and to hearing not only your thoughts about MOOCs and how they evolve over the term but also about the home remodeling (been there!!
