About Me
I have been in the higher education sector for over 20 years.

Collaboration with specialists in the education field allowed me to explore the best methods of online teaching and learning.
I like teaching at higher education sector, providing teacher training, and organizing professional development workshops for the faculty who want to learn about emerging learning technologies. Particularly, I like inspiring and motivating educators on using educational technology and innovative teaching methodologies.

My Skills
I have two decades of experience in teaching and instructional design. My online content design and development experience started back in 1999. At that time, I developed eight online language modules for the CenAsiaNet project. Starting 2004, I developed first online Uzbek dictionary for IU. Furthermore, I have experienced online learning as a student. I have received a certificate in Distance education and my second master’s degree from distance in 2013. Pursuing my EdD degree as a distance learner and working remotely for many businesses also enhanced my vision and essential work skills. Such experiences enhanced my familiarity with both student and designer perspectives. Additionally, I taught online courses and organized professional development workshops for language teaching faculty using Zoom and Kumospace. I am comfortable with using variety of Learning Management Services (LMS) including Canvas, CourseNetworking, and Google Classroom web services, and add on apps. I am very comfortable in learning new technologies, implementing, and designing online language learning materials.
