Tommy Fix completed his BA in Video and Audio production at Ball State University. This enabled him to get a position at the university facilitating distance learning classes which would inspire him to complete his master's degree in Curriculum and Educational Technology. Tommy has been at Northern Kentucky University since 2013, starting as an instructional designer before managing the team of instructional designers. Recently more exposure to that administrative side of academic tools has driven an interest in analytics and what we can learn as a university from how we use our tools.
