Education Online – International Award for Online Education Goes to UMass Lowell
UMass Lowell has won all Sloan-C top awards, except one added this year, for excellence in programs and faculty development. In 2008, UMass Lowell and UMassOnline received the Most Outstanding Online Learning and Teaching Award. Sloan-C – an offshoot of the Sloan Foundation for higher education excellence – is dedicated to integrating quality online learning into mainstream higher education.
Moloney’s honor is for 15 years of advancing online education. She launched UMass Lowell’s program when other institutions did not see the need, and under her leadership, it grew from 400 students and a few courses to more than 12,000 online enrollments and full degree programs, including an MBA.
Moloney is a national leader who worked with the foundation to establish the “Sloan Semester,” allowing thousands of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina to continue their education until they returned to campus. Moloney continues to innovate, adding “blended” programs at UMass Lowell combining online and classroom learning.
Moloney said the award is humbling because she is in the company of past winners who are national experts. It also “shows what our campus stands for…It really is a statement about UMass Lowell’s capacity for innovation.”
“Jacquie Moloney epitomizes UMass Lowell’s entrepreneurial approach to education that distinguishes this university from others around the nation,” said Chancellor Marty Meehan, who promoted Moloney to executive vice chancellor. “This vision for the future of education and drive to meet the needs of students and employers are just a few of the reasons why UMass Lowell is growing, online and on campus.”
