My Learning Philosophy
I believe learners deserve the best possible experience, and I’m dedicated to delivering just that—through innovative design, thoughtful development, and a relentless drive to exceed expectations. At its core, learning is about changing behavior based on truths we deem relevant, which makes it an inherently relational and context-driven process. As instructors, we must guide learners to distinguish reliable information from falsehoods and help them recognize the value of adapting accordingly. Grounded in Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction—problem-centered learning, activation, demonstration, application, and integration—my approach promotes both motivation and effectiveness.
