blended learning, communities of practice, learning communities,

I have been an eLearning instructional support specialist with UBC at the Centre for Teaching and Learning in Kelowna since June 2004. I specialize in assisting faculty with their technology needs to support teaching, learning and research related initiatives. My teaching and learning interests revolve around effective uses of technology in the classroom and other learning environments. These interests led to me completing my Master of Arts and researching Communities of Practice using technology for professional development. I am currently conducting research into effective blended learning environments in graduate level courses.
