Laurie Tenzer
My name is Dr. Laurie Tenzer and I am a lifelong educator.
A lifelong educator, Dr. Laurie Tenzer has been involved in online higher education for the past decade as both a learner and a practicing faculty member. Her intimate knowledge from both viewpoints gives her a unique perspective in this fast-changing environment.

Dr. Tenzer also served on the international board of reviewers for Transformation in teaching: Social media strategies in higher education (2012) edited by Cheal, Coughlin & Moore.
