ETEC-674 Introduction

My name is Nathaniel Wildes and I am a staff member at CSUSB. I work for both the Intern Grant and the Literacy Center. I am very interested in this course because it will enhance my knowledge as it pertains to what I already do at my current position. I am resposible for developing online training modules for the Site Coaches in the region. I try to make these modules as engaging as possible, however I know that gaining a better understanding of the learning process would greatly benefit me as well as the end users of my training.

I have experience in developing web sites as well as online courses, but hope to gain a better understanding of other means of online interaction such as podcasts, video conferencing, and blogging. I prefer email or massaging as an asynchronous means of communicating and face to face for synchronous and know that it will take some time to get comfortable utilizing other online resources. I look forward to participating in activities that require methods that I am unfamiliar with as well as interacting with fellow faculty and staff.
