M.Ed. ONID

In 2012, I began taking classes that are part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Master of Education in Online Innovation and Design program (see 2012-2013 catalog description of program). When I started, I wasn’t sure whether I just wanted to take a couple classes to bolster my experience and resume or if I wanted to pursue a second master’s. Before completing my second class, I knew I wanted in to the program. I was formally admitted in Summer 2013. As stated on its website, this program “equips graduates to create and facilitate meaningful learning experiences for the online environment.” I took one class per semester over the years with a couple breaks to accommodate life and will be graduating in May 2018.
