Biography
College of Charleston - Communication
Instructional Designer and Technology Consultant
Jessica
T. Smith, Ph.D.
Charleston, South Carolina
I'm a former academic, currently pursuing new adventures in instructional design and information technology.
After earning my Ph.D. in 2010, I taught Communication courses at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the College of Charleston. In 2014, I became an instructional technologist at the College of Charleston, coaching faculty on how to strengthen their teaching practices.
I have expertise in coaching, training facilitation, instructional design, program assessment, writing for general and specialist audiences, and developing curricula for adult learners, including micro-learning, eLearning, and blended learning.
I've also launched a new project called The Peaceful Professor, which seeks to make college campuses healthier and happier through the power of mindfulness and self-compassion. Spending ten years in higher education has made me acutely aware of the mental health struggles and skyrocketing stress levels that plague university communities. By sharing resources related to mindfulness, meditation, self-care, and compassion, I hope to make a positive impact in the lives of faculty and students. If you're interested in collaborating, please reach out!
