Background

About Morgan Diederich

I teach foundational data literacy at scale, working with 650+ business students each semester across synchronous, distributed, and fully asynchronous online environments. My focus is helping learners build practical, transferable data skills using evidence-based pedagogy and thoughtful learning design.I regularly mentor students on real-world business data problems, guiding them through messy datasets, stakeholder questions, and decision-making contexts that mirror industry work.My technical background includes machine learning applied to educational data mining and learning analytics, with experience analyzing learner behavior, measuring engagement, and improving instructional outcomes through data-informed design.In parallel, I bring 10 years of experience partnering with companies and research teams to meet strategic objectives. This includes building custom dashboards, developing analytics frameworks, translating complex data into actionable insight, and supporting data-driven decision making across business, education, and research contexts.I’m especially interested in contract and consulting work at the intersection of data, learning, and applied analytics, including edtech, higher education, workforce development, and data-informed product or program design.
