In April, 2006, the Instructional Design and Learning SIG announced the first recipient of its scholarship award: Laura Filla, currently an online graduate student at Capella University. She is working toward a master of science degree in education, with instructional design for online learning as her area of study.
With a current GPA of 4.0, Laura is in a demanding program with rigorous coursework. While she has had several years' experience as a technical documentation specialist, she has been unofficially working as an instructional designer for several years.
