Presenter: Dr. Caroline Crawford

Professor of Instructional Design and Technology, University of Houston, Clear Lake

Caroline has enjoyed the world of instructional design and learning technologies since the early years of dial-up internet, when simple HTML scripting was considered to be a miraculous feat beyond all imagination. She was creating online instructional content before online learning was a “thing,” many times sharing the weird, wacky, and wildly wonderful instructionally relevant experiences that were possible to create in this new online realm. Her mantra is that the technology supports the instructional process, and if the technology isn’t both instructionally viable and easy to integrate into the instructional experience … then it’s just not worth using. She began her career as a secondary classroom teacher while earning her master’s degree, going on to earn her doctorate in curriculum theory and instructional technology specializations, and currently grounds herself in her University of Houston-Clear Lake home as Professor of Instructional Design and Technology.
