Carol has been a familiar face around Granite State College for a number of years. First, as a Self-Design graduate with a degree in Educational Media and Technology and later, after earning her Masters Degree in Mass Communication at Emerson College, as an instructor of communication courses at Granite State College.

In addition to her student/instructor association with GSC, she was the Statewide Coordinator for the Interactive Television (ITV) system when the college delivered courses via remote interactive television sites. It was that initial exposure to distance learning that prompted her transition over into online instruction.

Carol’s favorite teaching experience in the online environment is Interpersonal Communication. “My students initially can’t see how we can have an interpersonal connection without meeting face-to-face. However, they are usually pleasantly surprised when they begin interacting with their fellow learners in cyberspace and see how vital the Internet is in our modern-day communication processes.”

During semesters Carol travels between Maine and Florida using Internet access to continue her teaching assignments wherever she resides. “I love having the opportunity to work with so many interesting and talented individuals. Lifelong learning is exciting!”

When not online, her two favorite pastimes are being with her 2-year-old granddaughter and enjoying a day on the water in her kayak.
