Instructional Systems & Learning Technologies @ FSU

Vanessa Dennen along with EPLS Department Chair Betsy Becker represented FSU by giving a workshop at Uttaradit Rajabhat University (URU) in Uttaradit, Thailand. Dr. King Beach of IERD Consultancy also presented at the workshop. The workshop topic was Instructional Systems and Research Methods.

The workshop was attended by the Faculty of Education and International College, and arranged by the Education Dean (and FSU PhD Alum in Measurement & Statistics), Dr. Rapin Posrie.

FSU has a Memorandum of Understanding with URU, and will be engaged in both student and faculty exchanges. Our Thai colleagues were wonderful hosts, providing a day of local sightseeing and holding a special dinner with traditional Thai dances performed by URU students and karaoke.
