Dr. Corey Lee
Associate Professor

Throughout my career of teaching, I developed strong interests in the areas of distance education, mobile learning, interactive multimedia, and graphic/website design. In my classes, I introduce a wide range of software applications and open-source packages to students, allowing them to master computer-based tools used in the design and creation of electronic media, such as electronic images, sounds, videos, text, and motion.

eLearnReady

eLearnReady is a free, web-based tool designed to analyze students’ preparedness for online learning. eLearnReady received a 2023 Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) Classics Award. The MERLOT Awards program recognizes and promotes outstanding online resources designed to enhance teaching and learning and to honor the developers of these resources for their contributions to the academic community.

EdTech Align

The present study developed and psychometrically examined an instrument for measuring teacher perceptions of their edtech competencies, as aligned to four popular sets of standards – ISTE-E (ISTE, 2017), AECT Standards (2012), AACE’s TETC (Foulger et al., 2017), and the NSQOT (VLLA & QM, 2019). The rationale for adopting this broader approach was threefold: (1) to mitigate concerns about the validity of a single set of standards, (2) to increase the instrument’s overall generalizability for different educational institutions, and (3) to accommodate online and hybrid instructional modalities in a post-pandemic world. A four-point Likert-type scale was assigned to each statement item.
