I've developed successful distance learning programs and courses for public health professionals and graduate students using multiple modalities, including Sakai, for the last nine years.

Dina Kurz is the Managing Director for Non-degree Distance Education at the University of Michigan School of Public Health (UMSPH). She oversees the development and growth of the Certificate in the Foundations of Public Health (CFPH). This innovative program offers public health workers and those interested in exploring the field the unique opportunity to earn an academic credential in public health through a convenient, part-time, distance-learning format and serves as a gateway to the MPH and MHSA degree.

Kurz served as the Associate Director for the Michigan Public Health Training Center (MPHTC) for over five years, and was responsible for building the infrastructure of MPHTC. MPHTC develops and implements training courses and tools that strengthen the skills of Michigan's public health workforce. In addition to developing courses in a variety of teaching modalities, including face-to-face, mentored online learning, self-paced online learning, interactive television and CD-ROM, Kurz and colleagues have been working with public health departments on organizational capacity building by improving their ability to be 'learning organizations'. She also served on the Steering Committee of the Michigan’s Multi-state Learning Collaborative on public health accreditation.

Kurz has also worked on the national level through the Public Health Training Center Network and the National Public Health Leadership Development Network on issues of leadership and workforce development for public health. Kurz was a member of the Michigan team of local public health officers and senior staff who trained as Year 15 scholars of the Mid-America Regional Public Health Leadership Institute.
Early in her career, Kurz worked on workforce issues involving the distribution of physicians. She spent over a decade working in the areas of health care quality, cost, and the value of prevention for Michigan business and managed care organizations. She holds a Master of Health Services Administration degree from the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her Bachelor's degree was earned at Cornell University.

I am a chemical educator. My primary interests and expertise relate to the role of technology in teaching and learning and team-based guided inquiry. I have published several collaborative inquiry lab manuals and am co-editor for MERLOT Chemistry. I am a lecturer IV and have been lab coordinator of the general chemistry lab program at the University of Michigan for several decades. In a typical academic year I instruct 2000 students enrolled in the introductory general chemistry lab program and supervise 30 - 40 graduate students who are primarily new to teaching. I won a Smithsonian award for developing coLABnet (collaborative laboratories thru networked computers). CoLABnet is a system that allows teams to enter both qualitative and quantitative data across classrooms. Students use the collated data collected across different classrooms to solve problems. Solutions can be obtained by automatically transfer the data into Excel and are presented using PowerPoint in a team-centered discussion. Currently the course serve some 2000 introductory students in a given year.
