UGA Online Learning, the University of Georgia’s online program and course development and marketing unit, has grown significantly to better support of UGA’s 4-year Strategic Enrollment Management Plan. The office has expanded to better support growth in online graduate programs, strengthen summer undergraduate courses, and establish a new Quality and Analytics sub-unit.

New team members include Instructional Designer Duncan Lord, who is focused on developing and improving online graduate programs, and Hannah McCain, who joins as an Instructional Designer specifically supporting summer undergraduate programs. In the new Quality and Analytics unit, Tianyi Zhang Ulyshen, Ph.D., Instructional Design Manager, along with Instructional Designers Lynee Boswell and Xigui Yang, Ph.D., lead data-driven course evaluation and continual improvement.

The Enrollment Services team has also expanded, with Peyton Etheridge joining to help serve the growing number of online graduate programs. In Media Production, Vedant Yevle brings expertise in editing and sound design, while Tina Motway enhances courses with animation and motion graphics. Learning Technology Manager Todd Hollett oversees platform development and support. Finally, Project Manager Kristy Pansino provides coordination across initiatives and teams.

Together, these additions strengthen UGA Online’s ability to support enrollment growth while maintaining the quality that defines the UGA student experience.
