Jessica Martinez
The University of Texas-Pan American, Department: The Center for Online Learning, Teaching & Technology
Instructional Developer
At the Center for Online Learning, Teaching and Technology at the University of Texas-Pan American we focus on meeting the needs of our faculty. We have a developmental and a technical side for the sole purpose of creating online courses. However, if a department or faculty member is interested in receiving training from us, we also provide that type of support. Faculty members are properly trained on how to reach their online students and how to learn the latest technologies. Participants can apply this information by adopting the Learner-Centered style of teaching. This has helped our online courses become a great success.
