INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER: Anna Rood
As an instructional designer for Lourdes University, my goal is to create an e-learning environment that allows students to thrive in a self-paced, competency-based educational model. The Competency-Based Education programs are developed with the expertise and knowledge that has helped make Lourdes University a leader in higher education. As the university continues to grow in new learning modalities my role as an instructional designer is to ensure successful integration of technology and academic integrity into the Competency-Based Education programs. I have been an educator for many years, and I know the benefits and joy that accessible education can bring to a student!
Outside of instructional design, my interests are traveling, reading, crafting, and enjoying nature with my husband, Mike, and our goldendoodle, Otis. Before joining Lourdes University, I worked in academic advising and admissions. And, before that, I worked as an elementary school teacher. Life-long education continues to be passion of mine in hopes of spreading that love with new students.
As a 419 native, I am excited to return to my local roots and serve the Gray Wolf community!
