Class Description: The move to online education is unfamiliar to many, but presents a wealth of unique opportunities to connect with students around the world in novel ways! This course will present a primer on educating students in the online world through the lens of “Instructional Design.” In this class, we will discuss the pros and cons of teaching live sessions versus recorded sessions, platforms to increase student engagement and connection, structuring individual meetings and multi-week programs, and infusing technology into the learning environment. Participants in this class will leave with a tool kit for constructing their online class, including technology resources as well as a planning template for instruction.

She's a bejeweled blend of the dramatic, the unexpected, the saucy, the salty, the weepy, and the creepy -- earning her the tagline "the emotional rollercoaster of burlesque."

She holds an MA in Teaching & Learning and currently works as an Instructional Designer at a private university.
