About Kevin E. Johnson, M.Ed.About Kevin E. Johnson, M.Ed.Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this very important time in WIU history. I bring enthusiasm, a passion for learning, vast experience with technology in higher education, and the ability to explain it all in plain English! As Coordinator of Instructor Support for the University of Illinois Global Campus, I am engaged in supporting faculty as well as designing, redesigning, and teaching "online" courses. My professional growth has evolved from my first computer programming experience on a Commodore 64 computer at the age of 14 through many years of programming and curriculum design experience in both academic and corporate settings. In every position, my interest has been in cutting edge technologies and their practical applications to help organizations and professionals move forward with confidence.
