Brian also researches emerging technologies and all kinds of other randomness for CU Online at the University of Colorado Denver.

Anna Thai - Academic Technology Coordinator

303 - 724 - 8117 (AMC)
Hailing from the land downunder where technology is at least 6 months behind (must be those darn kangaroos that keep chewing on the network cables), Anna decided to venture outside of her little island and head for the Mile High city of Denver. Prior to getting off the island, Anna supported faculty with their online teaching at Monash University. In between researching and testing emerging technologies for implementation, Anna kept faculty informed with weekly tech news. Working at CU Online at the University of Colorado Denver has given Anna the opportunity to explore other avenues of technology and to share this wealth of knowledge. While staggering through the cornfields of Indiana for six years, Anna managed to pick up a little Midwest twang; which of course is completely gone now, and also a MS degree in Information and Communication Sciences and a BS degree in Business Administration from Ball State University.
