About
Susan D. Moisey is a leading scholar in the intersection of educational technology and teacher professional development, with a primary focus on constructionist learning theory. Her research explores how hands-on, project-based activities—including robotics—can be effectively translated into online environments to support ongoing teacher growth. Moisey’s most influential work, “Applying constructionist principles to online teacher professional development” (2011), has garnered 48 citations, establishing a foundational framework for designing just-in-time, socially interactive online professional development (oTPD) courses. Using a design-based research approach, she investigates how constructionist activities can foster deep, practical learning for educators, moving beyond traditional lecture-based models. Her 2010 report further extends this work, emphasizing the integration of robotics and hands-on classroom activities into digital professional learning. Moisey’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging theory and practice, providing a replicable model for teacher training that prioritizes active, collaborative, and learner-driven experiences. Her work remains a key reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance teacher effectiveness through innovative, technology-mediated professional development.
