My name is Daniela (Ela) Castellanos-Reyes. I'm an Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University as part of the Digital Transformation of Education cluster. I am a 2022/2023 NAEd/Dissertation Fellow and I hold a Ph.D. Curriculum and Instruction focused on Learning Design and Technology from Purdue University. My research interests include online interactions of adults and nontraditional learners and identifying course design features that support online learners' social presence through social learning analytics. I also have worked on networked learning and the role of Latina/o/x's in instructional design.
