It's with great excitement that the Office of Academic Technology welcomes David Goodrich, Instructional Designer, to the team.  David replaces Marlena Bravender, who is leaving OAT to finish her Ph.D as well as pursue other interests.

David is pursuing a masters degree at Capella University. He intends on pursuing his doctorate there as well. He has an education background with his undergraduate degree in secondary science from Cornerstone University.

David spent a few years teaching right out of college where he cultivated his use of technology in a high school science classroom with an emphasis on effective pedagogy. It was while he was teaching that he began thinking about the direction that education could be headed in the future and decided to engage a career that was dedicated toward online learning in higher education. He began working in Technology Services at Spring Arbor University while pursuing his education in instructional design and is now working in the Office of Academic Technology as an Instructional Designer. 

David will be working primarily with course development in the MSFL, MODO, and MAE programs as well as working wtih all faculty on course design/redesign and development.  We're privileged to welcome David to the team.  You can find his contact information on the staff page. Feel free to stop by his office behind the helpdesk and say hello.
