Biography
Annie Hale is a Sr. Director at EdPlus, Arizona State University. Annie works on co-developed university-wide solutions that foster student success through research, evaluation, leadership, and innovative learning models and digital teaching to reduce barriers to achievement in higher education. Annie provides organizational leadership to ensure projects move seamlessly between phases and teams. Working through a broad array of topics, Annie networks interdisciplinary research teams to co-inform curriculum development and foster student success, retention, and perseverance through data-driven analytics. From a management perspective, Annie is a strong coalition-builder who works to remove barriers for sharing information and ideas readily. From a development perspective, Annie co-develops and supports meticulously curated high-quality learning content that is aesthetically appealing, engaging, researchable, and deliberately enhances diversity and accessibility to a broad audience through the principle of "elegantly-designed experiences." Student success, retention, inclusion, and accessibility for all learners are motivating factors that span all areas of her portfolio.
Annie's scholarly research spans various topics, including education for sustainability (EfS), science and technology studies (STS), the use of innovative technologies to improve learning experiences, design from a human-centered approach, and transformations in higher education. Annie's research agenda is intentionally connected to her current projects and morphs as she takes on new endeavors. Annie takes on research questions and protocols that co-inform insights from a qualitative and quantitative mixed-methods methodical perspective.
Annie has created several sustainability courses over the years. Currently, Annie teaches her fully online course: Sustainability Science and Society (SOS 294). This course explores global and local sustainability topics by taking students on a virtual tour of the world through various engaging digital stories. From Phoenix to Bali case studies, this course uncovers diverse approaches used by scientists, scholars, and practitioners to study and assess human-environment interactions pertaining to sustainability challenges and solutions. Students will learn critical thinking skills that will foster better engagement with the world around them through the lens of sustainability.
Annie has been at ASU for more than 13-years as an educational leader and faculty associate and has a decade worth of experience successfully securing grants and philanthropic funding. In the last six years alone, she has brought in more than $1.7M in research awards Before coming to EdPlus in the Fall of 2021, she worked at the Biodesign Insitute for Nobel Laureate Lee Hartwell, Ph.D., for 12 years. Annie still actively collaborates with Lee. Before coming to ASU, Annie worked in the field of architecture as a designer for five years at the influential architecture studio Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill and mobilizes her design acumen in all of her projects from video production to one-pagers. Annie is LEED-certified and is a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt from Purdue.
