Dr. Cindy Kovalik
|
My interest in pursuing an advanced degree in education emerged while I was a technology coordinator for a private girl's school in the early 1990's. My master's (MA,1996) and doctorate (PhD, 1999), both earned at Kent State University, are in the field of instructional technology. I returned to Kent in 2002, after having taught at The University of Akron for four years. Prior to my career in education, I was in business, working as a systems analyst and information systems manager for a major corporation. My computer-oriented business background has served me well by providing a solid foundation from which to learn and work with the myriad technologies now being used as tools for learning in educational settings. My research interests include technology integration, online learning, and visual literacy. I am a member of several professional organizations and serve on the editorial review board of the Journal of Research on Technology in Education (JRTE).
