Farewell from Dr. Kirby

Headshot of Joshua Kirby, former coordinator of LDT Online Programs

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.

by

Many courses about learning technology focus on how it can be harnessed for good. LDT 843 – Learning Technologies for Good and Evil starts from the assumption that good outcomes of new technology for education and society are never guaranteed but rather that the use of technology for learning, or any other purpose, always entails ethical tensions—a struggle between “good” and “evil.” The course provides a practical angle on these issues for learning technology designers, educators, and researchers.
