Ryan's Bio:
Mr. Ryan Rucker received his Master of Education (M.Ed.) at the University of South Carolina-Aiken in 2009, focusing on Educational Technology. He completed a B.S. at the University of South Carolina in Technology Support and Training Management. Currently, he is enrolled in a Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) at Valdosta State University. The program is in Curriculum and Instruction, with Ryan conducting research in the instructional technology field.
While continuing to work on his education, Ryan has worked in the Information Technology field in several capacities. These capacities include about two years at his Alma Mater providing desktop support for student, staff, and facility. He left the University of South Carolina to accept a job at the Medical College of Georgia, where he was the functional system administrator for Blackboard and provided support for various instructional systems. Recently, Ryan has made the transition into becoming a full-time technical trainer and creates training materials for various classes. However, during his spare time, Ryan does do I.T. consulting for clients and small businesses.
His primary research interests deal with learning management systems (LMS). He has been using Blackboard and Moodle for over five years and has provided support for both of these systems. In addition to providing support, Ryan has created multiple courses in both systems and spoke at conferences showing teachers and administrators the benefits of using a LMS.
It is Ryan’s goal to one day be able to teach instructional and/or technology-based courses on a part-time/full-time bases at the university/college level.
