About Me
Hi, I’m Morgan Olson! I’m a Digital Learning Technologist on the Interactive eLearning team, and I’ve been lucky to call Bellevue College my professional home for over 20 years. I love helping faculty design meaningful online learning experiences and supporting them in using tools like Canvas, Cidi Labs, and Adobe products. One of the highlights of my time here has been guiding almost 400 faculty through the Online Excellence Teaching Academy (OETA).
In my role, I’m passionate about blending creativity, technology, and Universal Design for Learning to make courses more inclusive and engaging. And when I’m not at BC, I’m usually with my family, watching movies, exploring Disneyland, walking the Gnome Trail, or getting lost in one of my many (many) craft supplies.
