I began a Master\u2019s in Educational Psychology (specialization in Educational Technology) at the University of Alberta, and was fast-tracked to the Ph.D. program in Educational Psychology (specialization in Educational Technology), where I was a Government of Canada\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sshrc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SSHRC<\/a> doctoral fellow. I have taught online and open since 1998, and use open technologies still to this day to teach without using a Learning Management System. I have explored both modality and access in my research and developed the multi-access framework, which focuses on merging modalities and access (face-to-face, online synchronous, online asynchronous, and open access).<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I am a full-time single mother to two amazing girls, now 13 and 15. This journey of praxis, where theory is put into practice, was life-changing for me. I was able to learn indepth about educational psychology, educational technology, and what is learning vs. schooling, as I traversed parenting children who went to traditional public school, traditional private school, homeschool, and an inquiry-framework school.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. I am happy to discuss your questions around online and open pedagogy.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_valeriei\">@_valeriei<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: virvine at uvic dot ca<\/p>\n<p>Office tel: 250-721-7778<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome!
