My name is Tatiana Piatanova and I am an Instruction Designer of the Center for Educational Technology and Curricular Innovation at Pacific University. I have been in the exciting field of Instructional Design since 2009. Prior to the career in Instructional Design, I was a jill-of-all-trades, graphic designer, and an educator for numerous years. Before coming to Pacific I specialized in asynchronous online course design and integration of Web 2.0 tools and technologies for education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Humboldt State University.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring numerous hiking trails with my beastie Opee, running, graphic and web design projects, reading, knitting, and occasionally painting. I also teach “Implementing Internet Tools and Technologies” – an online course at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. You can find more information about me in “My yawp” post.
