Biography

Katy Campbell was born, raised and educated in Edmonton.  She received her PhD (1994) in Instructional Studies from the University of Alberta. Her doctoral research involved a narrative study of a collaborative instructional design process as a socially transformative practice.

Katy has been appointed Dean of the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta, effective July 1, 2009.  She has been Interim Dean since 2007 and Associate Dean from 2001-2007. She worked as an instructional designer in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta (1983-93), as Assistant Professor in the College of Education at the State University of New York College at Geneseo (1993-95), and as a designer of distance programs at Keewatin Community College in Manitoba, Canada (1995-96). She is currently a Professor in the Faculty of Extension, and she teaches in the Master of Arts in Communications and Technology program.

After a short career as a French teacher, Dr. Campbell was fortunate enough to be assigned a graduate supervisor who was interested in developing videodisc simulations for beginning French teachers. Five instructional videodisc projects later, Dr. Campbell began exploring the nature of the instructional design process as a social and transformative process. This interest in the collaborative process of institutionally-based instructional design led to her doctoral work with Dr. Jean Clandinin at the University of Alberta. Under Dr. Clandinin\'s supervision, Dr. Campbell worked with narrative and autobiography to describe the role of conversation as design in a videodisc project involving a collaborative team of four faculty members and several production personnel (Collaborative Instructional Design as a Socially Transformative Process, 1994).

Dr. Campbell has published in many academic journals and in edited books, presented at over three dozen conferences, serves on several editorial boards, and was President of the Association for Media and Technology in Education in Canada (AMTEC) now Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIE). She was Co-chair of the Learning Design Working Group from 1999 - 2002, that has worked with IMS Global Learning Consortium and Industry Canada to develop specifications for interoperable e-learning designs.
