  • Became a member of Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT)

  • Served as a Full-time Volunteer at AECT 2021, was responsible for moderating number of sessions virtual help desk

  • Attended a number of sessions as a participant at AECT 2021 in the division of teacher education

  • Submitted 2 proposals for AECT 2022 as collaborative research with LDT students and faculty

 

AECT 2021 gave me an opportunity to find out what are the latest happenings in the field of LDT in its various dimensions. It provided a platform to know about the big names in the field and interact with them professionally. Moreover, I also learned that there are multiple ways to present one’s work in a conference e.g. workshops, presentations, posters etc.

Attended the following Center for teaching and Learning sessions

  • How to design inclusive syllabus

  • Preparing for the Job Market: The Teaching Statement

​I found out about CTL from GRSC 7770 and I think it’s an excellent resource for graduate students. I was able to attend a couple of sessions this semester and I intend to being part of more CTL opportunities in the upcoming academic year. Both the sessions that I intended were very pertinent to my field and work as a GRA. The informative sessions, discussion with GRAs from other departments and shared resources gave me a lot of clarity about the topics at hand.
