Online Education: Here to Stay and to Continue Growing!

Raj Selladurai, PhD
Associate Professor of Management
IU Northwest – School of Business and Economics
This presentation will focus on the growth of online programs in education today and the strong trends indicating a continuing upward swing. It will discuss the Amazon business model, its impact on consumer buying behavior, and its strong impact on the education programs' mode of delivery. It will show how the COVID pandemic has disproportionately impacted older people, ages 50 and older, including many Indiana University faculty and several other faculty members from several universities and colleges across the nation. According to the AARP Report (2020), 93% of the deaths in the US related to COVID have occurred in the 50+ age group. Therefore, older faculty face unprecedented challenges in their careers in teaching format and must also adapt to the changing demands of students in the online environment. Also, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has encouraged business schools to focus more on effectively managing the new online education trends. Finally, I will focus on effective student engagement and interaction practices that I have used in the online class environment to enhance student learning and impact their performance.

Coaching Mindset: A Tool for Lifelong Success
March 24, 2023 at 1:00pm EST
Emily Mueller, MD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
IU School of Medicine
A coaching mindset is an important tool for those in education to learn, foster, and utilize. Using coaching approaches to navigating or exploring pathways allows educators, mentors, and leaders to empower individuals to reach their own goals. During this one-hour interactive workshop, I will cover the definition of a coaching mindset, teach a new set of coaching questions and cues, and help listeners identify their own advice-giving habits. We will use breakout sessions to demonstrate how even short virtual, interactive opportunities can help us solidify the tools we discuss. We will focus on how to shift from advice giving to coaching in a variety of different scenarios, with an emphasis on opportunities within the virtual learning environment.
