Women in IT Spotlight: EdTech’s Kate Moss
This week’s spotlight features our very own Kate Moss!
Kate joined our ITS Educational Technologies team last year and we’re so thrilled to have her! Kate has worked in higher education for 10 years, holding various positions in student affairs, academic affairs, administration, and educational technologies. She initially received her bachelor’s in communication and media studies from UNC-Chapel Hill and later went on to UNC-Charlotte to get her master’s in education. Kate is also a current co-leader of the Digital Accessibility Liaisons on campus. We’re so glad she decided to return to Carolina!
Learn more about Kate by reading her profile in ITS News.
Here is a snippet of what Kate shared in her Q&A:
“I am excited about the inclusivity and flexibility that educational technology continues to provide to our learning environments. Our industry is offering more courses online which helps increase access to those who may not be able to attend in person. Our faculty members are no longer mystified by video conferencing and can change the medium of the class to an online session as needed throughout the semester. More faculty are recording their class sessions so that absent students can go back and watch class. As we continue to find need for these technology, the companies that administer them continue to add helpful features so that our class platforms are more accessible. I am excited about all the new ideas, theories, discoveries we are uncovering by continuing to include voices who are unable to thrive in a physical classroom without any technical intervention.”
