Matthew Rota , PhD

I am the Director of the Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning for the College of Nursing and Sr. Instructional Designer. In my role as the Director, the College of Nursing’s instructional design department and our college IT department, known as CATER report to me. This office unifies instructional design and information technology.
