About Us

Dr. Nancy Anderson, President, Interactive Learning Systems, Inc.

I earned my degree in Biology at Purdue University and taught at the college level for several years before “retiring” to stay at home with my two children.  I taught at their elementary school for seven years as the Remedial Reading and Math teacher. I began working with computers in 1979, conducting some of the first computer camps for kids with the Durham County 4-H Clubs and the Durham Housing Authority!  I served for several years as the Durham County Schools’ Computer Coordinator before forming my small business, Interactive Learning Systems, Inc. I continue to be an active member of the Durham County Delta Gamma Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society.

I was the MECC (Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium) representative for 10 years, serving NC and SC, delivering educational software under district licenses and conducting workshops for teachers.  Staff development has always been an integral part of my educational service and support to schools.  As ILS has shifted its emphasis to video production and editing, the design of Broadcast Studios, and to HDV technology, training and support continue to be our main priorities!

Dr. Nels Anderson, Associate Professor Emeritus, Duke University Medical Center

I retired from Duke University Medical Center in 2001 after a 34-year career in basic medical science and teaching. The application of instructional technologies in the design and delivery of instruction has been an interest of mine for many years.

During a sabbatical at the National Library of Medicine, I developed a hypermedia program design model for representing and interactively exploring expert clinical problem solving behavior. ( Medical Center: A Modular Hypermedia Approach to Program Design, in: Sociomedia: Multimedia, Hypermedia and the Social Construction of Knowledge pp 369-389 The MIT Press, 1992 ed. Edward Barrett).

In recent years I have worked with Nancy and Nancy Lynne to develop and present video production and editing workshops. Designing and installing integrated video production and editing studios is also an ongoing interest. We are also expanding our workshops to include: High Definition Video Production and Editing, and DVD Authoring.

Angelina is a miniature pinscher mix. She showed up on our door steps 4 years ago. She can do many tricks for her favorite treats and loves to play catch with her favorite toy animals.
