Tess Beebe Olten, USA, e-Learning for Higher Education

I am passionate about and devoted to the field of e-learning. Not an expert, really, but a long-time community technology advocate who values lifelong learning in both formal/traditional and personal/nontraditional contexts.

I work in the field of e-learning in the Centers for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, Office of Distance Education and Extended Studies at Alabama A&M University. I am a lifelong learner and an advocate of the theories of connectivism and curatorial education.

eLearnista - currently offline
eLearnista covers everything from the basics for newcomers to the more pedagogical theories of connectivism and curatorial education. I assume nothing about the prior knowledge/experience of the reader and therefore make my blog a great entry point for the uninitiated and those hesitant about and/or resistant to e-learning.

Lora Helvie-Mason, USA, Tertiary

With a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in Agricultural Communication and minors in Communication Studies and International Studies, Dr. Mason's journey in education has truly been an interdisciplinary approach. She completed her Master’s degree in Communication Studies from Ball State University in 2003 and graduated with her Ed.D in Adult, Higher, and Community Education with a Cognate in Communication Studies in 2007.

Dr. Helvie-Mason’s research involves the understanding of education as a culture and communication as an avenue to matriculating successfully through that culture. She explores technology and instruction through a communicative lens. Her work has emphasized the marginalized voices within education, including female faculty members, minorities, and inmates. As she teaches communication courses in public speaking, advanced public speaking and debate and argumentation, Dr. Helvie-Mason utilizes a reflective pedagogy which gives the students opportunities to shape and direct their learning experiences.

Dillard University Center for Teaching, Learning and Academic Technology
The Dillard University Center for Teaching, Learning and Academic Technology (DUCTLAT) is essential in helping faculty effectively manage technology on and off campus.

An important aspect of this initiative is achieved by bringing groups of faculty members together to learn the technology necessary to develop electronic resources for their courses and themselves, while planning and beginning the development of shared curricular materials.

Cultivating faculty success at all levels reinforces the University's commitment to build premier faculty learning communities. All faculty, deans and academic administrators play a critical role in creating competitive and productive academic units in which expectations for faculty performance are clearly articulated and professional achievements are recognized and rewarded.

The goals of the CTLAT at Dillard University are to...

2. Improve teaching mastery of the faculty.
3. Enhance effective, discipline-based pedagogy
Increase research support for faculty.

Zeina Nehme, Lebanon, Higher, Mathematics

I am a faculty member in the mathematics department at two American Universities in Lebanon, while pursuing my Ed.D. at St Louis University, in the US.

In 2004, I taught mathematics and Arabic language, face-to-face and online in the small rural and remote villages of Northwest Alaska. In Fairbanks, I was a research scholar, conducting research on distance education and providing training to faculty members on the effective use of technology in teaching.

Concerning technology, I have been using Blackboard, Elluminate Live, blogs and wikis. I received many certificates on distance education, and became a Certified Online Instructor (COI) and published few articles as well.

From 2007 to 2009, I lived in Saudi Arabia and taught mathematics to Saudi female students in a private American University. In addition, I was an active member in the Professional Development committee on campus.

Applications of Linear Algebra
The Linear Algebra course is based on the idea of matrices. The applications of matrices in this course seem abstract, dry and difficult to understand. Hence, I created a Blog and asked students to find real life use of matrices, which I think, will make the course a bit more enjoyable, fun and the blog might entice the learning process.
