Patsy D. Moskal is Director of the Digital Learning Impact Evalulation at the Research Initiative for Teaching Effectiveness at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Since 1996, she has served as the liaison for faculty research of distributed learning and teaching effectiveness at UCF. Patsy specializes in statistics, graphics, program evaluation, and applied data analysis. She has extensive experience in research methods including survey development, interviewing, and conducting focus groups and frequently serves as an evaluation consultant to school districts, and industry and government organizations. She has also received funding from several government and industrial agencies including the National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. In 2011, she was given the honor of being named an Online Learning Consortium (previously Sloan-Consortium) Fellow. She has co-authored numerous articles and chapters on blended and online learning and is a frequent presenter at conferences and to other researchers.
Driven by a bottom-up partnership between the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning and the Division of Digital Learning, the University of Central Florida established an evolving campus infrastructure of policies, training, and a national conference to guide the ethical and effective integration of generative AI into teaching and learning.
Higher education institutions are increasing digital access for students while also maintaining privacy and data protection. To support students, colleges and universities can promote technology democratization and efficiency, collaborate with AI for student success, support libraries for digital access, and streamline the student technology experience.
Two oppositional perspectives bound the domain for research in blended learning. To make progress, the research community will need to investigate the success or failure of blended practices with much greater clarity.
