I have been working in the ed-tech field for over two decades, first as a lab assistant, and then a research assistance in charge of technical and instructional support for our learning management system, WebCT, starting in 1998.  Though we have changed systems to D2L, I still provide both instructional and technical support, not just for University of South Dakota, but also for the South Dakota Board of Regents.

I also work in a number of other areas, including distance education.  Here are some of my activities in this field.
