Hello all. My name is Theresa Miller and Design is my passion. I am always “designing” something. I am attracted to anything that involves design. In my work and personal life I am a designer. I seek design opportunities. Whether I am designing a webpage to help learners get started with an application or editing a photo I have taken, I am using a design process to focus on important elements. I am also cutting out extraneous details. To me, this is similar to designing learning experiences.
I work on the Learning Design team of IT at UMass Boston as an Instructional Technologist and Marketing Assistant. I help faculty, staff and students navigate the ever changing landscape of educational technology. Supporting learners at every level, I try to make learning new concepts or incorporating technology into the classroom easier and fun, most of all!
I support several tools and technologies and I have facilitated many workshops over the years for the campus community, from Website Creation with WordPress, Creating Graphics with Adobe Illustrator, Working with NVivo, Data Visualization Techniques and Charting, Hour of Code events and more.

“Theresa Nelson-Miller”… “showed me how to transition from a Wiki to a Blog and then put up with my confusion until we got it right. Once again, I made it through a crisis and learned new skills thanks to her. From teaching a faculty seminar to coaching an individual professor, Theresa is simply superb!”
