Greetings From the New LDT Professor in Charge and Information about World Campus Resources

by

Dear LDT Online Students,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I take on new leadership responsibilities within our World Campus LDT program. I am an associate Professor in the Learning, Design, and Technology program and the new Professor in Charge (PIC). I have had the pleasure of teaching within this program and advising online Masters students since 2014. In that time I have developed great respect for our online students, many of whom are balancing work and home responsibilities while at the same time pursuing their educational goals. This is the type of life long learning and dedication that we should all aspire to! As such, Dr. ChanMin Kim (incoming Certificate Program Adviser) and I are committed to helping our online students succeed in meeting whatever goals they set.

I see my role this coming year as one of learning and working towards positive change. I will be learning more about our online students, their backgrounds, courses, and needs from them, our staff, and our World Campus partners. I plan to work in collaboration with our faculty, staff,  and World Campus partners to document students’  needs and find better ways meet these needs.

Dr. Kim and I will also work together to ensure that our students know about all upcoming deadlines in our program and resources offered through World Campus. Towards this aim, I include some information about some resource below.

Have a great semester!

Dr. Marcela Borge

Farewell from Dr. Kirby

Dear LDT Online Students:

The past 6.5 years has offered me the opportunity to engage with amazing students who come to the Learning, Design, and Technology Online Programs from many different professions, locations, and walks of life. I’ve had the gift of being a professor and advisor of people who make positive change in their workplace, community, school, and family. I’ve written many letters of reference and given many reference phone calls. And I’ve been able to advise many on advancing their career paths to new opportunities for influencing education and training systems in need of their attention. I have enjoyed working with our committed and conscientious students and will revel in their accomplishments as they begin to stack in the upcoming years.

It is also time for me to grow into a new career path, and I am excited for my next steps.
