Interests & Responsibilities

As an Instructional Technology Consultant, I help faculty, graduate students, and staff at the university improve student learning through the use of technology. I offer a variety of workshops and presentations on technology-enhanced learning for the CTL and consult with members of the university community about best practices in this area. For a list of the workshops I conduct, as well as instructional and resource materials related to them, please visit my Web Site at http://www.tc.umn.edu/~rozai001/index.html.

In addition to my work with instructional technologies, I'm an instructor in the Preparing Future Faculty program where I teach GRAD 8101: Teaching in Higher Education, GRAD 8102: Practicum for Future Faculty, and GRAD 8200: Special Topics in Teaching and Learning.

Before coming to the Center for Teaching and Learning, I taught literature and composition at the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. I also worked as an instructional developer for PLATO Learning, a company that produces educational software, and have partnered with Minnesota's Digital Media Center as a multimedia instructional consultant.
