Instructional Design / Skills
During my 10-year teaching career in Korea, I was engaged in teaching, advising students and parents, and other duties. I developed and refined my computing skills, learning how to manage my time effectively, reduce my workload, and most importantly, understand the significance of instructional design to maximize educational impact. This expertise in instruction has proven indispensable as I transitioned from teaching to research.
