First Post - Who am I?

Hi 

My name is Cynthia Frownfelter-Lohrke.  I have been in Higher-Education as a business professor for over twenty-three years.  I have taught at large state schools but for the past sixteen years, I have been teaching at a small liberal arts school in Birmingham, Alabama.  About five years ago, the business school was given a mandate to put all of our MBA courses online.  I had taught the graduate MBA MIS course for eleven years so I was asked to faciltate getting that course online.  In preparation for that process, I took a series of classes and earned a certificate in online learning.  It was a valuable experience but I felt that I needed more knowledge about learners, learning, and the interactions that come with online and blended courses.  I have now taught that course online four times and continue to evaluate and change it.  When the opportunity came about to study IDTE, I was excited and have been loving learning more about this field.  I am looking forward to learning how to create course content with Adobe Captivate.
