Hi. My name is Alexa Summers. I am an Associate Professor of Web Development at Johnson County Community College, previously coming from the Game Development department. I have both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science, an EdS in Digital Leadership, and a Graduate Certificate in College Teaching and Career Preparation, which have collectively equipped me with an understanding of the intersections between technology and education. My past research efforts involve atmospheric science research at Tel Aviv University, where I concentrated on natural disaster-predictions, focusing on creating models that can aid in real-time response efforts to potential threats. Additionally, I participated in data science research at University of Missouri—Kansas City, centering on anxiety detection in dementia patients, aiming to develop algorithms that can improve early intervention strategies for mental health challenges. Furthermore, I conducted the evaluation of video conferencing software for use in virtual education at Fort Hays State University, exploring the effectiveness and accessibility of these tools in enhancing students’ learning experiences. My professional goals include advancing the use of educational technology and instructional design to create engaging, accessible, and effective learning experiences across in-person and online environments. I am particularly interested in designing curriculum and learning systems that prioritize usability, inclusivity, and student success. In addition, I aim to play an active role in promoting and advocating for the Web Development program at Johnson County Community College through outreach, collaboration, and speaking engagements, representing the program within the broader academic and professional community. I seek ongoing involvement in professional development and educational technology initiatives to remain current with emerging tools, pedagogical strategies, and industry trends, and to help strengthen the visibility and impact of the program.
