Speaker(s)
Anne Distler
graduated with a BS in Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame in
1999 and a PhD in Chemistry from Michigan State University in 2003.
At both universities, Dr. Distler served as an instructor and
teaching assistant. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship at
Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Distler continued her work at
the university as a member of the research faculty in the Department
of Pharmacology. In 2009, she accepted a tenure-track faculty
position at Cuyahoga Community College. Since returning to teaching,
Dr. Distler has taught multiple levels of chemistry in traditional,
online, and blended formats, utilizing a number of new technologies
in the classroom and Blackboard course sites. By utilizing
technology, students have access to the course materials presented in
multiple formats, accommodating different learning styles and
increasing student engagement. Dr. Distler also serves as a subject
matter expert with McGraw-Hill publishers, collaborating on the
LearnSmart program available with the publisher's Chemistry
textbooks.
"If
you've ever had too much instructional material to cover and too
little class time, then you should consider flipping your
course"
Terri
Pope graduated with a BS in Nutrition from Case Western
Reserve University in 1980 and a Ph.D in Nutritional Biochemistry
from The Ohio State University in 1984. She began teaching at
Cuyahoga Community College following a post-doctoral fellowship at
Yale University. A tenured Professor with over 26 years of teaching
experience, she has seen the college classroom move from podium to
podcast. A recent recipient of the Ralph Besse Award for teaching
excellence, Dr. Pope uses active learning strategies to teach a wide
variety of courses to a diverse student population in traditional,
online, and blended formats. She has been teaching online for 10
years and was an early adopter of the blended format. Dr. Pope has
written several Laboratory manuals and has used a BlackBoard site to
create a Virtual Biology Study Lab to provide students 24/7 access to
laboratory image collection. She has been using technology to blend,
flip, and shake up her science curriculum.
