AHRD/M.S.Ed.'2016
I received my MS.Ed in the Adult Education and Human Resource Development (AHRD) Program at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA, USA. This program is a very unique program that exists only in some schools. It is a merge between higher education studies and the field human resources. In this program, we emphasize the use of technological approaches in higher education and learning theories. I am honored to be doing research in the field of AHRD. I did research on several topics such as "Mobile Devices Effect on MOOC-Massive Open Online Course", "Learning Management System" and "Diversity". In my thesis work, I am studying "The Effect of Cross-Cultural Differences on Team Performance". I graduated in May, 2016.
