Anika Anthony, PhD, is the associate vice provost at the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning.

Previously as associate dean for academic affairs in the Graduate School, Anika led graduate education initiatives in the areas of curriculum, program assessment, and fellowships. She represented the Graduate School on university and external committees, including the Council on Academic Affairs, the OAA Annual Assessment Planning Committee, the Office of Distance Education and eLearning Steering Committee, and the Chancellor’s Council for Graduate Studies. Anika chaired the combined Graduate School and Council on Academic Affairs curriculum subcommittee and supported academic units with developing six new graduate degree programs and facilitating curricular review of more than 120 new or revised graduate programs of study.

Her research focuses on the implementation of educational technology in K-12 and teacher preparation settings. She has also examined the influence of distributed technology leadership, strategic partnerships, and systemic alignment on technology implementation. Anika began her career as an engineer, management consultant, and systems analyst. Through her work, she has designed and evaluated e-learning environments and advised school and district leaders in educational technology implementation.
