My name is Jered Borup. I'm currently Professor of Learning Technologies and Design Research at George Mason University. 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.
