Week One: Introduction
Hello, Dr. Baek and fellow ETEC 501 classmates. My name is Nate Wildes and I am a Technical Support Coordinator here in the College of Education. I have been working here for over 4 years now and just recently decided to pursue a masters degree in Instructional Technology. I was hired primarily to develop and manage websites initially and would love to expand on my expertise in this area. I currently manage 3 websites here on campus as well as develop online training modules for supervisors of students pursuing their teaching credential. I hope to gain a thorough understanding of the basics when it comes to building an e-Learning site. All that I have learned thus far has been through personal experience and trial and error. I have an extensive background in design, however no real structured training in the development of online sites for the purpose of education. This will be my 2nd ETEC course and I am looking forward to the experience.

Hi Nate,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to ETEC501! I am very glad that you decided to pursus your MA degree in the ETEC program. Great choice! :) I believe this e-learning certificate will help you become a good online course developer and instructor! Your experience of working with faculty at your workplace will be a good asset to bring to this course. Please share what is going on in your college in terms of online learning/training when you submit your Wk2 posting. I look forward to working with you,
Baek
