Her article on taking a programmatic approach to tie the library to campus retention efforts was published as a feature in the November 2012 issue of C&RL News. From interest in how instructional technology and design can play a role in student success, Nicole is earning a MS in Educational Technology. She is currently researching motivation in game-based instructional design and is developing a badging framework for information literacy instruction. She will be presenting on her work at ALA13.
