CONFERENCE
Evangeline "Litsa"
Varonis
Member of the Scientific Committee, workshop
facilitator, presenter,
moderator
Litsa Varonis first presented at
ICICTE in 2010 and regrets that she did not join the family
earlier. That year, her husband Orestes begged her to write an
abstract for the following year so they could attend again
together, and for them it has become an annual event.
Litsa works as an instructional designer at The University of
Akron and is involved in many outreach activities involving
instructional technology. She was the first person in the
English Department to teach in a Distance Learning classroom and
also the first to use a learning management system. Excited
about the ways in which learning technologies could enhance
education, she moved to a position in IT but continues to teach
regularly.
Certified as a Quality Matters Master Reviewer and Facilitator,
in 2013-4 she served on the committee charged with updating the
Quality Matters rubric used internationally to certify quality
online course design. She introduced Quality Matters to ICICTE
in 2013 when she presented a paper on it and volunteered her
services as a facilitator of the Applying the Quality Matters
Rubric workshop.
Litsa has a BA (English, Psychology, and Honors) from Arcadia
University and an MA (Linguistics) from the University of
Pennsylvania. She has published widely in the areas of
instructional technology, English as a Second Language, English
composition, and linguistics.
