Previously, I was an eLearning Consultant and a Virtual Community Project Manager at a college in Ontario, Canada. I love working in the eLearning field and I\u2019m interested in developing online courses, online student services, and virtual communities. I believe that by working with students, we can create viable learning communities that allow them to interact with content, experts, and each other.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, I completed my Master of Educational Technology (MET) degree from the University of British Columbia and I have a degree in Sociology with a Legal Studies Option from the University of Waterloo, Canada. I\u2019ve also taken courses in Criminology, Technical Writing, Web Design, Wills &amp; Estates, Project Management, and Literacy Instruction.<\/p>\n<p>The MET degree has opened my eyes to a world of online learning. I\u2019ve enjoyed learning about technology, collaborating with classmates to create new knowledge, and designing engaging lessons using various types of social media.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also a freelance writer and an online instructor. Recently, I authored, designed, and developed 3 online, pre-college courses for a local school board. Also, I developed and taught an online report writing course for literacy students. Previously, I taught computer literacy for 7.5 years.<\/p>\n<p>As a professional writer for over 10 years, my non-fiction has been published in Canada, England and the United States. Currently, I write educational curriculum, online courses, and I maintain a blog.<\/p>\n<p>My future goals include creating curriculum using new technology, teaching online, and writing web articles and fiction. My personal interests include writing, music, travel, movies, books,\u00a0and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit.<\/p>\n<p>Michele Brannon-Hamilton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Michele Brannon-Hamilton and I\u2019m an Online Learning Consultant for the University of Waterloo.
