Main “Big Picture” Responsibilities at LDDI

I provide support to faculty and staff with any issue related to educational technologies and tools, such as Canvas, Zoom, Camtasia, and Padlet. I also help educate the wider community on educational technology topics through workshops, conversations, and events.

What are some of your specific, hands-on, day-to-day tasks at LDDI?

My day-to-day tasks primarily consist of responding to inquiries which come into the LDDI Inbox, ensuring that a prompt and effective solution is given for each request. I also assist with tasks around the LDDI office including with administration, events, and social media outreach.

How does your work help support the LDDI office, and the Faculty of Education as a whole?

My work allows for a smooth learning experience for all involved, including faculty, staff and students. My work ensures that the LDDI team is able to enhance students’ learning experience by exploring the latest educational technologies and designing inclusive and accessible courses. As a whole, my work allows the Faculty of Education to focus on delivering courses and leave resolving technical issues to myself and our team.

What are your specific areas of interest in the field of educational technology or beyond? How is your work at LDDI contributing or playing into those areas of interest?

I’m specifically interested in how instructors can safely and effectively incorporate educational technology, multimedia and AI to create an interactive, meaningful learning experience for students. My work at LDDI allows me to sift through a plethora of learning technologies, experiment with multimedia, and provide suggestions to instructors for tools which can further enhance student learning for their needs.
