​My name is Kevin Oliver, Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology at NC State. I have worked at NC State since 2005, teaching online courses in the College of Education's Learning Design & Technology programs (B.S., M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D.). Current courses taught include: theory and research in distance education, cultural investigations and technical representations in education, technology and informal learning environments, and teaching and learning with digital video. My research examines student acquisition of cultural and scientific outcomes in technology-rich distant (online/abroad) and informal learning settings. I am currently listed on the Fulbright Specialist Roster with a four-year tenure (2021-25), eligible to be matched with short-term projects designed by host institutions globally through the Fulbright Specialist Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
