Biography

Anna Bartosik’s unique role at George Brown as a Professor/Instructional Designer positions her to continue her innovative work: applying inclusive design-based approaches to English language teaching/learning, teacher education, faculty development, curriculum design, and online learning. 

Anna’s teaching experience includes English for Academic Purposes, language teacher education, digital citizenship, and instructional design. Her instructional/curriculum design experience spans across English language courses, continuing education, teacher development, health sciences, coding, and marketing/sales.

While working on her Instructional Design Certificate, Anna completed her Master of Arts in Languages and Literacies. Her thesis examined international students’ perceptions of their academic preparedness in college programs. Her doctoral dissertation focused on self-directed teacher development in digital spaces; she used a mixed methods approach to data collection and analysis which included a netnographic methodology and social network analysis. Her post-graduate interests have included artificial intelligence and its role in teaching and learning, learner autonomy, and tech ethics.

Anna Bartosik enjoys working in partnership with faculty, students, and colleagues across the college to create iterative and productive spaces for sharing, learning, and researching in a changing global education landscape.
