- Biography
- Hi, I’m Andrew Wolf. I am passionate about healthcare, education, and technology. I strive to use technology to foster connections between people so that they can learn effectively using principles of instructional design and expertise in online learning. Online learning offers amazing potential to develop connections to allow students to learn in a well-supported social context with flexibility of time and place. With excellent instructional design the quality of learning in an online setting can be as good as, or even better than, learning in a traditional face-to-face classroom. My mission is to enable such quality online instruction by developing and supporting comprehensive systems of faculty development, continuous quality improvement, student support, and institutional oversight. I am proud of our achievements at the University of Rochester School of Nursing where we have built a series of high quality online and hybrid programs which currently include 44 courses, and account for 26% of student enrollment. More importantly, our students are very successful in our online courses and rave about their experiences. If you have any questions or would like to discuss online learning or healthcare education, please connect with me via LinkedIn, and include you question or comment with your request. I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Andrew
