Background:
 |
Dr. Lesa Lorenzen Huber teaches courses in the areas of Lifespan Development and Gerontology. She has twice received the TERA award for teaching excellence, the 2008 Trustees Teaching Award, and the 2003 Part-Time Faculty recognition award from the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. She was funded by the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education to develop a model to incorporate service-learning into her web-based class on aging and by the Office of the Vice President for Instructional Technologies to evaluate the effectiveness of online pedagogies. She was a co-PI on a US Dept. of Education three year grant to develop and implement a full gerontology curriculum online. She is a co-PI on an NSF grant investigating privacy in home-based ubiquitous computing for older adults and on another NSF grant investigating how to keep seniors safe online. Her research interests include gerontology and geriatric education for health care professionals, physical activity and aging, gerotechnology, and pedagogical strategies in distributed education. Dr. Huber is also a Certified Personal Trainer and has enjoyed leading exercise classes with older adults in Bloomington retirement communities.
