Online Pedagogy Winter Symposium

Moderators

Alfonso Bastias

Visiting Professor, Construction Engineering and Management, Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering

Bastias previously was the director of two civil engineering schools in Chile, Universidad del Desarrollo and Universidad Diego Portales. He led the creation of new curriculum and accreditation processes, with a strong component of innovation and entrepreneurship and active learning methodology. He created a Decision Support System based on Cross-Impact Analysis and Montecarlo simulation (Patent Pending - 2020) that has been used in the academic and commercial environment for the last 20 years.

Jem Corcoran

Associate Professor,听Applied Mathematics

Corcoran's research is focused on fast accurate Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms with applications to problems in high-dimensional Bayesian network inference, target tracking, statistical mechanics, high-energy physics, and rarefied gas dynamics. Most recently, she has been involved in real time detection of rapid changes in synchronous flocking behavior and the development of perfect simulation algorithms for finding equilibriums in chemical kinetic networks.

Murry Cox

Senior Instructor,听 Computer Science

Cox's research is focused on different teaching and assessment methods and how they interact. His focus is on college level remediation and the variables that exacerbate the teaching/learning experience for post-high school students.

Arielle Hein

Instructor,听 ATLAS Institute

Hein is a designer and technologist whose work explores the imaginative use of emerging technologies with a focus on user research, interfaces and experience design. Drawing on an interdisciplinary background and a research-based creative practice, she is curious about the human side of technology and how to build products and spaces that honor and enrich the social and physical experience. As an educator, Hein听is passionate about fostering out-of-the-box thinking and empowering students to be active creators of technology through the exploration of interactive systems and the use of digital tools.

Rhonda Hoenigman

Senior Instructor,听Computer Science

Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, CEAS 听

Dr. Hoeningham's research focuses on modeling underlying dynamics of relevant social issues such as hunger and food waste. She also coordinates with local relief agencies to affect change in her community by involving the community in her research, and using the research findings to inform community practices. She authored the book 鈥淰isualizing Data Structures鈥� to fill the gaps found in typical textbooks and published it as an e-book to make it affordable.

Roselinde Kaiser

Assistant Professor, Psychology and Neuroscience

Kaiser is a clinical psychologist who uses integrated behavioral, developmental, and neuroscientific methods to understand Major Depression and related affective disorders. She is working to understand neurocognitive dysfunction in depression, including abnormalities in the structure, molecular signaling, and coordinated activity of brain networks involved in emotion regulation. She is testing how neurocognitive functioning may be enhanced to foster affective health.

Chris Koehler

Director,听Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Director of the NASA鈥檚 Colorado Space Grant Consortium, Mr. Koehler is one of three developers of the Space Minor, the second most popular minor at CU Boulder. A CU alumnus who studied aerospace and mechanical engineering before working at Lockheed Martin in Denver, Mr. Koehler taught 鈥淕ateway to Space鈥� for 19 years, a hands-on aerospace class for first-year students where they design, build, test, and fly a satellite to the edge of space.

William Kuskin

Joint appointment in English in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Herbst Program in Engineering, Ethics & Society, CEAS听

Faculty Director for Online Innovation, CEAS

Dr. Kuskin鈥檚 research and teaching span medieval literature and comic books. As vice provost for academic innovation, Dr. Kuskin created the Office of Academic Innovation and the Office of Global Engagement. In 2013, he launched the MOOC,听鈥淐omic Books and Graphic Novels,鈥� which ultimately served over 70,000 students and听received special mention by Coursera for its innovative delivery of humanities material.

Keith Molenaar

K. Stanton Lewis Professor of Construction Engineering and Management, CEAE

Interim Dean, College of Engineering and Applied Science

Dr. Molenaar鈥檚 teaching and research focuses on risk analysis, alternative project delivery and cost estimating for infrastructure projects. He is the primary author of more than 150 technical reports and articles and been recognized by Public Works Magazine as a top 50 鈥淭rendsetter鈥� for his work in alternative contracting in the public sector.
