This is a place for me (Leslie Dare) to document and share activities, resources, research and ideas related to my work in the Division of Student Affairs at NC State University. I serve as the Director of Distance Education & Technology Services (DETS) for Student Affairs. I’ve been in this position since 2001and with the university since 1989.
This is also my own experiment with blogging. My job is to help units in Student Affairs understand different technologies, how students use them, how they impact students, and how we might use them to deliver student services, developmental programming and academic courses. It helps for me to immerse myself in using the tool so that I can truly explain this to my colleagues and help them sort through the various tools that might serve their needs.
