About Laura March

I am an instructional designer, trainer, and web developer with more than ten years of experience designing accessible online environments and teaching virtually. Prior to receiving my Ph.D. from the School of Information and Library Science at UNC-Chapel Hill and working as the Senior Instructional Designer for the Carolina Office for Online Learning (COOL), I worked for American University‘s Center for Teaching, Research & Learning in Washington, D.C. and the Pennsylvania State University's Education Technology Services. I received an MS in Art Education and an MEd in Instructional Systems. I co-founded and organized Blue Out Penn State in fall 2011, which raised over $126,000 for child abuse prevention charities through social media and has since become a yearly tradition. I enjoy painting friends and family in the style of famous works of art, trivia games, and eating far too much pizza.
