About Me

Hi,

I am Ryan Kawaguchi, and I graduated from the Master of Educational Technology program at Boise State University in May 2022. As a library professional, I have worked in libraries at Boise State University in both Access Services and Technical Services. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from Boise State University in May, 2012, and my Master of Library and Information Science from San Jose State University in December, 2015. You can learn more about my professional qualifications at my LinkedIn profile.

I completed this portfolio in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Master of Educational Technology degree at Boise State University.

My professional development interests are online instruction to adult learners (particularly in the context of academic libraries), grant writing, and instructional design. In my professional life, I am using the skills I have gained in the MET program to create and teach courses to adult learners in the areas of information literacy, provide virtual library reference services to students and faculty, and collaborate with faculty as a librarian in embedded librarianship activities in their courses.
