Jamie Drozda
Coordinator, Educational Technologies
Jamie enjoys researching and analyzing the effectiveness of current learning technologies and assessing the challenges in adapting new technologies. She strives to address interaction and assessment issues along with integrating technology with classroom pedagogy.
Melanie Latham
Coordinator, Educational Technologies
Melanie enjoys helping faculty navigate the intersection between educational technologies and instructional design. Her passions include online course design, cognitive learning science, and instructional materials design. Outside of work, you will find her crafting something, hiking the trails in and around Kamloops, on a ski hill, or spending time with family.
Brad Forsyth
Coordinator, Educational Technologies
Brad still occasionally feels like he is trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. He is interested in digital game-based learning, open educational practices, promoting climate literacy, frameworks surrounding the selection and application of learning technologies, and finding new ways to facilitate interaction and authentic assessments in digital spaces. Outside of the office you can usually find him enjoying his downtime with a good book in hand, or out enjoying the many hiking trails surrounding Kamloops, on the golf course, or falling gracefully down a ski hill.
