Melinda Doty

I have been a full-time faculty member in the Department of Technology Systems at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina since August 2008 and have been teaching information technology courses since 2004. I currently teach computer applications for industry, internet tools technology and have previously taught computer applications in a virtual world. I teach a wide-range of students from traditional, freshman students in face-to-face classes to non-traditional, working adults entering at the junior level and only taking only online courses.

I use both SAM and MindTap platforms and have recently transitioned to an integrated version of MindTap within Blackboard. I love the ability to use multiple textbooks with each platform to further enhance student learning and employability. I focus on using SAM Projects and SAM Paths for my computer applications class and use MindTap with SAM integrations for the internet tools class.

I have worked with Cengage for many years and have seen how the platforms have evolved through the years to reach the products they are today. I have served on various focus groups for Cengage as well as served on various committees at the department, college and university level for my institution. I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Education, a Master of Science Degree in Vocational Education – Information Technologies and a Graduate Certificate in Professional and Technical Education. I look forward to working with colleagues to enhance and improve their use of Cengage digital platforms to further improve the next generation of computer users.

"Cengage digital platforms have changed the way I teach my students and increased students’ knowledge of computer concepts by allowing real-application scenarios through projects and tools available."
