“Bonni has a fantastic podcast, featuring interviews with thoughtful educators from all parts of higher ed. I always learn something useful when I listen, and am inspired to help my students learn even more.”
DEREK BRUFF
“...an opportunity to hear what people are thinking about in higher education. It's diverse enough that whatever your interests are, you're likely to find them, and then you're likely to learn about new things you probably should consider thinking about some more. Bonni is such a good interviewer. She selects her guests well, the resulting conversations are really enriching.”
MAHA BALI

THE PRODUCTIVE
ONLINE AND OFFLINE PROFESSOR
The Productive Online Professor offers approaches to help us have more peace in our lives and be more present for our students. Those who teach in higher education have to regularly shift contexts quickly and have competing priorities. This practical guide helps us fulfill our roles with excellence and joy while managing other priorities in our personal and professional lives. It aims to reduce the friction in the way we approach our work, yet recognizes we have individual differences in what will work best. See the list of productivity tools mentioned in the book.
IT STARTED WHEN I WAS AROUND 6-YEARS-OLD...
I used to “teach” in my room at home. The stuffed animals and dolls were my students. My bedroom door had a sign on it that read #208. My “name” was “Miss Monroe,” a tribute to the 1970s Charlie’s Angels…
I have always wanted to teach.
Fast forward to today. I teach as a university professor at Vanguard University: a small, private, liberal arts university in Orange County, California. I'm also dean of teaching and learning, allowing me to collaborate with other faculty in improving all of our teaching and support efforts that allow students to thrive in their learning. My passion is in continually becoming more effective facilitating learning for my students. I’m also fortunate to get to coach faculty in my dean role and connect with faculty from all over the world through the Teaching in Higher Ed community.
