Field Guide "Power Hour"

Brief Abstract
Come join other conference attendees online and create an OLC Accelerate game plan. During this power hour you’ll have the chance to organize your conference schedule and select presentations and activities you want to attend. The OLC Field Guides will be present to suggest interesting presentations and activities, train you on the use of the OLC site/mobile app, and show you Engagement Maps. We’ll also discuss ways to participate virtually - including Slack and Twitter! Meet old friends, make new acquaintances, and plan your schedule. We can't wait to see you there!

I am a multilingual educator, trainer and manager with over a decade of experience in online learning, specifically in online program administration, faculty development, and instructional design. I create meaningful and impactful online learning experiences for faculty and students. Also, I continuously search for ways to improve the way online courses and services are designed and delivered at our institution. Finally, I procure the adequate implementation, integration and use of the Ed-Tech solutions that support our online learning experiences, such as Zendesk, Evaluation Kit, Articulate 360, Labster, and RP Now.

I am a Learning Experience Designer at Michigan State University’s Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology where my personal passions for adult learning and community-based knowing intersect with institutional educator development. 2020 was a big year as I brought two babies, my son Henry, and my final dissertation into the world! I earned my doctorate in Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education, and continue to seek out ways to enact positive cultural shifts that center adults as learners and organizations as spaces for ongoing growth and development. I'm a lifelong Michigander and love outdoor activities (even/especially in winter). In a pre/post covid world, you'd find me traveling, embroidering, and carrying a camer!
