Deborah Rasmussen
I discovered a track for Educational Technology that included Instructional Design and completed my master’s degree in 2013 from Purdue University. Since that time, I’ve transitioned to higher education and have experience teaching as an adjunct for a graduate level course, re-designing the curriculum to include authentic project portfolios and a flipped component. I currently work as a Digital Learning Consultant at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, supporting innovative explorations to enhance the face to face learning experience. Over the past 4 years, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with staff and faculty from multiple disciplines, supporting the integration of technology through one to one consultations, workshops, innovative technology grants, and enterprise-level initiatives. My specialty focus has evolved over the years and now includes blended learning, instructional design, and flipped learning. In an effort to break down silos and share challenges and best practices, I currently facilitate a new multidisciplinary Community of Practice for Flipped Learning.
