Sia
Sia Samimi, MA, has been a faculty and leader in post secondary education for more than 25 years. He has taught topics ranging from computer networks to software programming to project management and leadership.
As the Chair of the second largest program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Sia’s foray in leadership in post secondary made student success the central theme of his leadership, research and teaching focus.
Having received his mechanical engineering degree from Lyon, France and later a computer science degree from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, in 2004, Sia set out to find out what attributes set outstanding teachers apart from other teachers. His Master’s thesis, a qualitative and quantitative study comparing the views of students and teachers about teaching excellence, won the Royal Roads university’s Chancellor Award for applied research and practical implication. Shortly after its completion, Sia’s thesis was picked up by a major publisher and is now available in bookstores and online.
The large study of outstanding teaching resulted in an epiphany for Sia: that to excel in teaching and learning, “effective feedback exchange” is an imperative and at the core of student success in post secondary education. For that reason, Sia, with the support from NAIT and staff, developed a pioneering online tool to facilitate seamless learning communities. Dubbed CoFE (Collaborative Feedback Exchange), the software has been effectively used among hundreds of students and is now contributing to a major project at NAIT.
With a passion for Latin, jazz and world music, Sia is also an instrumental recording artist whose songs are sold in stores and on-line. His first CD, Dedications, was nominated for the Best Instrumental Recording Artist of the Year in 1999.
Sia lives in Edmonton, Alberta and is married and has a stepdaughter.voir moins
