What drove you to enroll in the Learning Technologies minor?

During my sophomore year, I realized that I had the opportunity to add on another minor so I started investigating what would spark my interest and complement my major and other minor. Growing up, technology has always intrigued me and I wanted to learn more; I have always considered myself a tech-savvy person so this minor was a no-brainer for me to apply for. 

Which part of the program have you found the most valuable?

The courses I have taken so far have been some of the most enjoyable courses I have taken in my college career. I also find the content in my courses to be valuable because I want to go into digital marketing and being able to understand the technology and the internet will only benefit me. 

How has your experience been with the faculty?

My experience with the faculty this far has been amazing. I have taken two online courses with Angelica Pazurek and she has been a wonderful professor. I can tell she is passionate about what she teaches and truly cares about students and their learning.

Will the minor in Learning Technologies help you in your career path?

Yes. Technology plays a big role in digital marketing, and with technology advancing so much I need to stay up to date with how it is impacting us. 

How do you see technology and the internet changing how you learn in the future?

Just in the past couple of years with the impact of COVID-19, technology has changed the way we learn. With the power of technology, we were able to access our education and work online. Through the advancements of technology and the internet that were made during COVID-19, I believe it has opened the door for even more changes in how we will be learning. I believe that our learning will become more digital with meetings via Zoom and using digital textbooks, for example.
