Description
Online education is often disregarded by MIS faculty as yet one another way of consuming time teaching; however, online education (i.e. Technology-Mediated Knowledge Transfer) is at the core of our discipline and we should be leading it. It is like most of our topics, an interdisciplinary one bringing together pedagogy, technology, information science, and MIS. This panel will discuss how five MIS researchers have approached eLearning from the undergraduate to the doctoral levels and provide ideas on how to engage in it. Dr. Gómez-Reynoso will discuss his experience teaching students who live in a very spread-out areas Dr. Alanís-González will discuss how to leverage it for an international experience, Dr. Guzman will discuss how to use it in doctoral programs, Dr. Esteves to provide a worldwide elite experience in a hybrid mode, and Dr. Ferran will examine how to use it to leverage limited financial resources without lowering quality.
