Dr. Norman is the director of the Innovative Design for Education and Assessment (IDEA) Lab. The IDEA Lab supports ICRE faculty in the development of teaching methods that leverage research-based pedagogical practices, digital technologies, and multimedia design. Current projects include creating and refining flipped courses, developing fully online modules, and integrating personalized learning and learning analytics into ICRE courses.
Dr. Norman is passionate about designing dynamic, engaging, and meaningful educational experiences (e.g., courses, modules, workshops, seminars) in all subject areas(from the sciences to the humanities to the arts), at all levels (undergraduate to graduate to continuing education), and in all modalities (face-to-face, online, and hybrid). She is interested in developing courses that use multimedia resources (e.g., video, podcasts, digital media, and Web 2.0 tools) effectively and that make the learning environment aesthetically beautiful and conducive to creativity, exploration, and discovery. She is also interested in finding ways to make online course development easier and more intuitive for faculty.
Dr. Norman has taught in higher education for over 20 years, teaching courses in medical anthropology, anthropological theory, dilemmas and controversies in anthropology, gender in cross-cultural perspective, and the anthropology of tourism. She has also facilitated workshops and seminars on a wide variety of issues in teaching and learning, including, but not limited to, course design, assessment, lecture creation and delivery, discussion facilitation, rubric development, test/quiz design, writing, classroom management, problem-based learning, and flipping the classroom.
