Prior to this position I worked for Walden University in Minneapolis as the Director of Web and Application Development, and at Smyth Companies in Saint Paul as a Web Team Manager.

I have a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in English - Creative Writing, a Masters in Business Administration (M.B.A.) from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management, and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Educational Change and Technology Innovation from Walden University and quite recently a Doctorate of Education (Ed.D) from Utah State University in Higher Education. My dissertation topic was "An Assessment of Utah Resident Incentives and Disincentives for Use of OpenCourseWare Resources" (passed defense and paper in publication process now 6.15.09).

My Projects
Currently working to create two articles from my recent dissertation which assesses Utah resident incentives and disincentives for use of OpenCourseWare resources. Actual dissertation is at http://works.bepress.com/anne_arendt/1/ and first article should be appearing in IRRODL soon (December 2009 I believe).

Feedback & Notes from my WikiNeighbours
- Great to see you in the tutorial, Anne, and to see your user page. Do you have any concerns about the quality of educational resources developed using an open authoring approach? If so, what are your concerns? If not, how does an open authoring approach contribute to high quality learning materials?--Phil Bartle 19:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
