In this insightful interview, Dr. Kristen Jensen Wall shares her perspective on the transitions and driving forces for online education. Benefit from her nine years of experience as she talks about flawed assumptions and the biggest challenges for faculty members moving to the online environment.

“Five years ago, I would have said ‘you can’t do that.’ Well, we’re doing it!”

Teaching students how to interact online and the different expectations of them is another important element. As Dr. Wall stated, “Knowledge can be learned and forgotten pretty quickly; the skillset is more likely to stick.” We create scenarios for students to develop the skillset so if there are gaps in their knowledge, we have equipped them to go fill in the gaps.
