The Edugogy Guide

Welcome to the Edugogy guide. I invite you to explore where theory meets practice in teaching, learning, and training. Some of the things we might discuss:

What are the tried-and-true theories and practices? What works, what doesn’t, and why? What are the emerging trends in the field and are they going to be of any value to advance learning? What are the most valuable tools you have and use? And what tools do you wish you had?

I am still early in this blog journey, so I hope you will join me as it grows and evolves. I ask for your understanding as I learn the technical side of WordPress. Meanwhile, let’s grab a cup of coffee and talk about learning.

Hi! I’m Trish Briere, a curriculum advisor in Educational Policy at the Foreign Service Institute. Before coming to FSI, I was a learning design manager for the University of Maryland Global Campus, collaborating with faculty partners and cross-functional development teams to design and develop online courses. My experience is primarily in implementing innovative course design and development processes in the virtual learning environment. My background spans K12 education consultation, instructional design for corporate training, and learning design in higher education. And long, long ago, in a distant land (in the Midwest) I worked as a financial analyst for a multinational consumer finance and insurance company. I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner and current Ed.D. student of instructional technology at Towson University.

I write my musings on teaching, learning, training and trends in instructional design and technology. Discourse is invited and always welcome, but please be kind. I look forward to learning and growing with you…

For now, you may reach me by commenting on the Coffee Corner page or by visiting me on LinkedIn.
