Senior Lecturer |
Dr. Hu is Course Convenor for the Master of Learning Science & Technology Program
I started as a high school teacher teaching English as a Foreign Language. Later, I worked as a school administrator, researcher, and teacher educator. I became interested in the use of media/technology for learning while working towards my Masters degree at Stanford University. After Stanford, I went to Columbia University in New York City and obtained my doctoral degree there. My current research interests include the impact of using ICT on learning, blended learning, ICT and teacher education, and the teacher learning community.
