About Me

Heather Stafford – Instructional Designer – Middlebury College

I’m an educator who is interested in the ways that technology can support and amplify student outcomes. In particular I’m interested in the way in which experiential education can leverage technology to structure traditional course content in a way that supports and informs project-based learning.

Working at Middlebury allows me to be immersed in a culture of constant learning and that is just where I want to be. I have a BA in English with a focus on secondary education, and an MEd from Northeastern University with a focus on eLearning and Instructional Design.

I have collaborated with numerous faculty on both the Vermont and California campuses to design online courses, prepare and present class workshops, and answer course design and curricular design-related questions. I’m looking forward to sharing my learning and experience through my portfolio, and also reflecting on my unique perspective as a student and teacher.
