Tim Loblaw

Tim Loblaw is the Coordinator of Teaching and Learning Enhancement, the educational development unit at Bow Valley College in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Tim likes to think of himself as a researching professional versus a professional researcher, so his career has been grounded mostly in practice. For the past fifteen years, that professional practice has been in the context of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Related to this, Tim is a postgraduate research student, working toward a doctorate in lifelong education from the University of Nottingham. His research focus is on the political economy of skills development and training policy in the context of postsecondary TVET.

As far as other credentials go, Tim is a Certified Training and Development Professional (CTDP) through the Canadian Society for Training and Development. Tim also has a Master of Education, specializing in Educational Technology, from the University of Calgary and a Bachelor in Arts (Anthropology and Linguistics) from the University of Victoria.
