MillieVilaplana, Certified Professional in Learning and Performance, Cognitive Behavioral Psychologist and Senior Professional in Human Resources is a student of SDSU Educational Technology Master's Program. Although she is an idealist and a romantic, Millie has always believed in a pragmatic approach to individual and organizational issues. She believes that great things can be accomplished through the art and science of Human Performance Technology, as defined by the International Society for Performance Improvement.

From Wikepidia: Human Performance Technology "uses a wide range of interventions that are drawn from many other disciplines including, total quality management, process improvement, behavioral psychology, instructional systems design, organizational development, and human resources management" (ISPI, 2007)."

If I described to you the twists and turns my professional life has taken you would either conclude that I have many interests or that I'm unstable. I have been a poet, a psychologist, a creative director for and ad agency, a corporate human resources training manager and a school counselor. I’ve traveled all around the globe and worked in four different countries. Oh! And of course, a proud mom of two brilliant, successful young adults.

So does this reflect an erratic or focused personality? Truly the answer is somewhere in between. I revere art and science. Creativity and analysis. Out of sight and down-to-earth.

I hope you enjoy clicking through my educational technology projects. I trust you will see how approaching performance issues with a combination of nuttiness and structure can result in effective learning tools.
