About

Mauricio Rivera-Quijano, MET, BA

Educational Developer, Online Design and Delivery

Born and raised in El Salvador, Mauricio brings to CTL more than 30 years of experience working in Education. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Public Education (French) and a Master of Educational Technology (MET). His early work encompasses adult education and K-12 schools in Saskatchewan, as well as Keyano College in Fort McMurray. Mauricio’s experiences with online teaching began in his years with Northern Arizona University and the Learning Technology Branch at Alberta Education.

From right here at the U of A, Mauricio brings robust experiences from his work and projects with many different units: IST as a Senior Professional Development Specialist, and, at the moment of CTL's named creation in the early 2000s, he was part of that first CTL team as a Senior eLearning and Professional Development Specialist. In 2016, Mauricio was appointed Senior Educational Developer at the Faculty of Science, and in 2020, as Education Program Coordinator at the School of Public Health. Now, as CTL’s Educational Developer for Online Design and Delivery, Mauricio responds without hesitation to partnering with instructors toward sustainable, trusting relationships guided by always putting our learners as a core of the educational process.
