Current Team (2024-25)
Dr. Sonya Woloshen
Learning Design Manager – Teacher Education
Sonya Woloshen has over 15 years of experience in education, spanning K-12, French Immersion, and roles within the Ministry of Education and Child Care, where she worked on Literacy Assessments. In the 2023/24 academic year, she served as the French Secondary Specialization coordinator in the BEd program at UBC. Sonya holds a BA in French and Art History and a BEd from UBC, where her passion for integrating digital technologies into her teaching practice began. This led her to pursue a Master’s degree in 2013 and a PhD in 2021 from Simon Fraser University, specializing in Educational Technology and Learning Design. Her research focused on Learning Analytics, particularly how learners interpret data from Learning Management Systems to enhance their learning behaviours and processes. Recently, she has been committed to creating anti-oppressive learning environments and exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence in supporting these practices. Sonya is excited to begin her new role as the Learning Design Program Manager in Teacher Education at UBC.
