Anytime, Anywhere (Michael Carey, Gonzaga University)

Wired Ivy

Can a 500-year old teaching philosophy translate to online learning? Saint Ignatius of Loyola articulated a series of spiritual exercises, which became the basis of Jesuit learning. Central to this philosophy are the learner has primary agency in the learning, and the process of discovery and reflection will unsettle old ideas. Isn't unsettling old ideas exactly what innovative online higher education does?

Kieran and Dan talk with Michael Carey, chair of the Department of Organizational Leadership in the School of Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University, from his home in Spokane, Washington. Mike discusses how leadership is learned through an online curriculum. Kieran and Mike also share the importance of communication skills acquired in the online learning process and how they carry over to professional work. And since Mike also served five years as the Dean of the Virtual Campus at Gonzaga, he has plenty of advice about creating online learning communities.
