John Murray
I am currently an Instructional Designer with Digital Education Strategies at The Chang School of Continuing Education at Ryerson University. I hold an MA in Educational Technology from Concordia University and have designed in a variety of learning environments, including K-12, higher education, and corporate. This past year, I co-developed and co-led a two-week training to help Chang School instructors transition to remote teaching, with a focus on communication strategies and authentic assessment.
I enjoy reading about and discussing the many facets of online learning. Please reach out on Twitter (@Murray_Je), or find me in a nearby virtual hallway. :)
