Meet the Director
 |
James Chan, PhD
As the director of CeLTIE, Dr. Chan brings to the center a multilingual,
multicultural, and
multidisciplinary grounding. Chan is a native speaker of
Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese.
Through his studies of English, French, and
German he gained a solid understanding of the
challenges of mastering
foreign languages and cultures. He earned his B.A. in English
literature, his M.S. in Instructional Systems Technology and
Ph.D. in Computer Education
He has a strong grasp
of the major theories of pedagogy, instructional design, and multimedia
development.
|
Chan complemented his education with valuable
work experience, including many years of experience teaching and
managing
instructional technology in higher education environments. As the
Instructional Development Coordinator at
Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology, Language Pedagogy Project Coordinator at Indiana University
Bloomington, Director of Education Computer Lab and assistant professor of
computer education at Indiana University
South Bend, he developed deep
understanding of the pedagogical and technological needs of faculty and
students. He
is experienced in managing computer laboratories for special
purposes and in working with language faculty in integrating
leading-edge
technology into language learning.
Chan believes that Indiana University is in a position to
become nationally and internationally known, not only in the array
of
language offerings and information technology environment, but also in the
use of advanced technology in language
education.
