Classes Taught
I love online course development and teaching. Since I joined UCO, I have attended multiple advanced workshops, book clubs, and Online Consortium of Oklahoma meetings to learn about the latest online course development and technologies. I have developed and taught the following courses at the University of Central Oklahoma:
- Operations Management (ISOM 3313) in face-to-face, online, and self-paced online course (SPOC) formats
- Operations and Supply Chain Management (ISOM 4843) (Major capstone course with experiential learning component)
- Operations and Planning Control (ISOM 4043)
- Project and Program Management (MBA 5552) (online format)
- Project Management (ISOM 4333) (online format)
In all these courses, my teaching philosophy entails (1) planning the course using Learning Environment Modelling (2) presenting new material to students through incorporating prior knowledge, (3) providing the chance for peer learning at the moment (4) allowing students to investigate new knowledge through doing it.
Research, Published Work, and Scholarly Activities
I am interested in researching forecasting methods, logistics, and teaching Operations and Project Management in the online environment.
