Dr. Jenay Sermon

I am accepting a post doctoral research position on a NSF grant funded project where i will be further developing, implementing, and measuring the impacts of learning systems for undergraduate students’ success in STEM. The position is located at a historically Black university, targeted at students traditionally underrepresented in STEM degree completion and career trajectory.

The appointment is in the College of Education’s Department of Educational Technology and Foundations. I’m thankful for the great friendships I’ve made and wonderful opportunities I’ve had while a student in this program.

Syclair Jones

This past semester I completed an internship in Buffalo, New York as a Learning and Development intern. I recently landed a job as a Learning Experience Designer for an organization called Ultimate Software in Atlanta, Georgia! The job is part-time so I will be pursuing additional project and contract work in instructional design and performance improvement. I am so grateful for the amazing foundation the ISLT Program has given me in the principles of instructional design and human performance improvement.

Dr. Fabrizio Fornara

I work for the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT) at FSU, I'm an Assistant Director. I'll provide support to faculty from all disciplines. Here are a few words from our website,

https://teaching.fsu.edu/: "CAT promotes student success at FSU by supporting the faculty in the important and difficult work of crafting transformative learning experiences, and by fostering a culture in which effective teaching is valued and rewarded." 

I will also work with FSU faculty on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning projects (basically, research on their classrooms) and I will direct the SCOT program, a program that employs undergraduate students to provide faculty with insights and feedback about teaching and learning in their courses.
