My name is Jered Borup. I'm currently an Associate Professor in the Division of Learning Technologies at George Mason University and one of two coordinators of the Learning Technologies in Schools graduate program. I earned my Ph.D. in Instructional Psychology and Technology from Brigham Young University in 2013. I have taught online and blended courses since 2008 and taught history for six years at a junior high school. My current research interests include developing online learning communities and identifying support systems that adolescent learners require to be successful in online environments.
