I'm Karen a professor at George Brown College in Toronto Canada. I love everything tech and ed. I teach courses like Psychology of Consumer Behaviour, Visual Communications and Soap, Sex & Cigarettes: A Cultural History of Advertising. I'm also partially seconded to our Learning Innovations and Academic Development (LIAD) to help with training faculty in educational technology and I am also the Online Coordinator for the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences at my college. BSc in Psychology and Englsih from the University of Toronto, Master of Education: Curriculum Technology and Education Reform, University of Illinois-Urbana 2011.
I'm a research assistant at the Department for Interactive Media and Educational Technology at the Danube University Krems and lead there are two part-time master's courses. The concept of the e-portfolio, I was at my first encounter in 2006 rather skeptical. By intensively studying it in research projects and in their own teaching, my position has changed now. This dissertation project was launched in January 2008 as part of the Doctoral College Lifelong Learning and completed in March 2012 with honors.
