樱桃视频 (BRTC) Director of Distance Education Regina Moore recently presented 鈥淓ngaging Technical Education in the Online Realm鈥� at the 36th Annual United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) National Distance Learning Conference in Orlando.
Moore鈥檚 presentation detailed how a small technical college was able to hire an Instructional Designer, and how that position enabled the department to engage and enhance听online听learning in BRTC鈥檚 technical programs by helping instructors create interactive modules.听BRTC is one of the first 2-year colleges in Arkansas to have a full-time Instructional Designer.
“I have attended the USDLA conference a few times in the past, but this was my first opportunity to present at the national level. It was great to spotlight our small technical college听on such a large stage听and听boast about the听innovative听ways听BRTC听is tackling听learning barriers听with limited resources,鈥� said Moore. 鈥淎dditionally,听having听the chance to听network with other instructional designers and distance education personnel from听universities and colleges听across the United States and听having听meaningful conversations about upcoming trends, such as AI, was enlightening.”
