By Douglas Esser
\nAfter receiving a doctorate in history, Penelope Moon started teaching seminar-like classes at a small liberal arts college where, more than 20 years ago, they would \u201clook down their noses\u201d at online learning. 足彩app哪个是正规的n she moved to Arizona State University, one of the leading institutions for online learning with more than 30,000 students in 150 programs and high-profile partnerships with Starbucks and the Mayo Clinic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs soon as I started teaching online, I saw its potential,\u201d Moon said. \u201cIt’s super rewarding. It has completely transformed the way I teach and the way I think about engaging with students. It has made me a better teacher actually.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to her work as an associate clinical professor at ASU, Moon became director of online programs for the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, she\u2019s focused on online learning opportunities for University of Washington Bothell students. Moon this year joined the university to serve as the e-learning planning and design specialist in the Office of Digital Learning & Innovation (DLI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really wanted to be in on the ground floor in developing the systems that will help the university deliver online education,\u201d Moon said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging more students <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DLI, a team formerly known as Learning Technologies, has helped UW Bothell faculty build more than 250 hybrid courses (defined as being at least 50 percent online) and more than 90 fully online courses. At a minimum, those courses have served more than 6,500 students and counting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research has shown that online students perform as well as students in face-to-face environments, Moon said. And, online courses can extend the university\u2019s impact by reaching students where they\u2019re at and when it fits their schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs more and more of our students juggle jobs, family responsibilities and significant commutes, it makes sense for us to use online,\u201d Moon said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although she\u2019s now an administrator, Moon still thinks like a teacher when she talks about how to engage students in online learning environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBesides lectures, videos and weblinks to tons of content, online instructors can engage students through Skype or Zoom teleconferencing, through email and on the phone,\u201d Moon said. \u201cProfessors who are skittish about online often think they won\u2019t be able to have discussions with their students, but they can!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her experience, Moon found student participation was greater in discussion boards than in classrooms. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的y have the time to think, reflect, craft their answers, revisit the text or revisit the lecture.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than classes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moon also developed a closed Facebook group for all the students and professors in her ASU program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the equivalent of going out for coffee after class where you could be a history nerd and share your triumphs or tribulations. 足彩app哪个是正规的re was a lot of peer mentoring,\u201d Moon said. \u201cOne of the things that you need to do to be successful is to make sure that your students are fully incorporated into the social and intellectual life of the university.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moon aspires to develop online programming that respects academic integrity and the dignity of faculty and students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnline can help us reach new and different students \u2014 and to do it in ways that are consistent with the values of the University of Washington Bothell.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
