What educators say ...
"It has been a true honor and privilege to have you work with our faculty. I appreciate your expertise in the area of online distance education. This was a very positive experience for our faculty and institution and hope that we can work together again in the future."
- M. Chavez-Toivanen,
Professor of Mathematics
"Patricia is a key player in the design of online learning and will become one of the leading experts."
- M. Riel, Ph.D., Researcher,
Stanford Research Institute (SRI)
"Patricia has a remarkable way of being friendly and at ease
while maintaining a businesslike focus on the job. It is no exaggeration
to say that my work with Patricia has been one of the most fulfilling
and enjoyable activities of my entire career."
- D. Piontkowski,
Mathematics Department Chair
"Dr. Patricia Delich is a knowledgeable, supportive, productive, and creative professional. She has greatly enhanced both the online program at CCSF and my professional development as an educator. The community of instructors that have completed Dr. Delich’s program has become an interconnected group of online professionals who share their expertise with one another. Without Dr. Delich’s flexibility and her facilitation of the online community, I could not have obtained my current level of expertise. I appreciate her ability to balance the constraints of a busy instructor with the timelines necessary for a successful program."

D. Markham, Ph.D., Physics Professor
"Patricia has been an amazing mentor during my process of learning
how to develop and teach online courses. I not only enjoyed her
ingenuity as we thought through structuring the learner's
experience, but also her passion for excellence in instructional AND
visual
design. After our project was finished, she stayed in touch with me and
shared ideas and resources, unsolicited. Her support was rich
and complete, and she made the process fun. Her guidance helped me
develop an engaging course that I enjoy teaching and my
students enjoy taking."
- R. Rowland, Ph.D, Graphic Communications Professor & Thiagi Group associate
“Patricia is nationally recognized for helping teachers integrate a wide range
of innovative applications guiding faculty across-the-curriculum
to create, manage, and improve online teaching and learning.”
- C. Kleinman, Ph.D., English Professor and Lab Coordinator
"I
have had the privilege of working closely with Patricia Delich since
the beginning of the CCSF online program. Not only she has been instrumental
in
the implementation of the program itself, but she has also been an
invaluable asset for the entire support group. It is thanks to her vast
knowledge of technical issues, her patience, and her insatiable curiosity
for any new development in the field of computer technology that I have
been
made aware of many programs and features to enhance my website.
Patricia's
unwavering support has been a source of inspiration and her
commitment to the online faculty was undoubtedly a major contributing
factor
to my winning the first prize in the CVC Online Teaching Website Award
competition, for which she deserves ample recognition.
Besides having excellent communication abilities, Patricia is very detail-oriented and mindful of deadlines. Always striving for optimal results, she has been a constant source of encouragement, and I will miss her greatly both on a professional and a personal level."
- G. Spanò, Italian Professor
After teaching for 20 years I decided to try and offer one of my classes
online as a hybrid. What I did not have was the knowledge to
make it happen. My first semester with this experience was a disaster—there
was no college support system; we were offered one workshop and were
handed a fat instruction book. I cried.
THEN ALONG CAME PATRICIA.
Under her wing I was able to put form to my ideas and learn the technologies
and new ways of teaching to bring it all to life. Patricia guided me
through each step, knowing when to hold and when to let go. She imparted
knowledge simply and with great enthusiasm. Generosity, clarity, depth,
and incredible people skills are her hallmarks. Replies to my questions
were always answered quickly and thoroughly. She is an amazing problem
solver, loves challenges, and is open to anything.
I'm now in the 5th year of teaching my online class and am thrilled
with it! I can't thank Patricia enough for her unfailing enthusiasm!
- D. Olivier, Art Professor
“Patricia's positive outlook and practical knowledge about online learning adds value to any project implementation. Team members enjoy her organizational skills and willingness to share ideas. I have always been impressed with her resourcefulness and connections to experts in the technology field. Even though she has a quiet and unassuming manner, you can always depend on Patricia for honest answers that are based on facts or personal experiences. Any organization interested in improving their online teaching and learning skills would be wise and fortunate to hire Patricia Delich.”
- P. Truett,
Ed.D., Instructional Technology Specialist, Richmond County Board of
Education, Georgia
