Dr. Bischoff has won numerous teaching awards for her innovation and leadership in the area of distance education. In 2008, she was Texas A&M International University’s Distance Educator of the Year. That same year she received the Texas Organization of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nurse Educators, Innovations in Teaching award for her project “Adding the Personal Touch to an Online Course.”  Just this spring she was awarded the Outstanding Commitment to Excellence & Innovation in Distance Education award from the Texas Distance Learning Association. She is a Master Reviewer for Quality Matters, an advocate for Turnitin’s originality checker as a teaching and learning tool, and teaches writing intensive courses across the nursing curriculum in large and small classes.

Her opening keynote session is titled: Harnessing the Power of Technology for Active Learning.
