About Beth Lambert

As an educator and learning leader, I approach my work with enthusiasm and am able to see ideas from the big picture vision to the details. I am solution-oriented and am constantly learning and growing to stay on top of current trends and innovations in learning technology. During the 2020 pandemic shutdown, I took the lead in moving to a multimedia instructional platform approach and coached other faculty and administration on best practices to enhance the experience for our students. My own experiences with online and virtual learning began when I was teaching in Hong Kong during the 2003 SARS virus shutdown. I brought learnings from these early days of remote learning to my classroom back in the states and have been an advocate and experimenter with online curriculum design ever since.
