Faculty Innovation Outside the Classroom Dr. Sandra Massey has been Chancellor of Arkansas State University-Newport since September, 2013.

They have two children, Brittany and granddaughters Maggie and Ava of Jonesboro, Arkansas and Reese and granddaughter Maybelle Scout of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dr. Massey enjoys running, lake activities and spending time with her granddaughters.
When Arkansas State University-Newport moved to online and remote instruction on Monday, March 16, 2020, we never imagined the creativity our faculty would cultivate to stay engaged with students. As an institution, we have always felt we had some of the best faculty in the state, but this pandemic confirmed our faculty will do whatever it takes to help students succeed and learn. As the Spring 2020 semester wrapped up online, ASUN’s Academic Affairs Office saw an opportunity to highlight the amazing work of our faculty. A “Show Us What’s Working” virtual meeting allowed for all faculty, staff and administration to see what online techniques they are utilizing while working remotely. Ten faculty members participated. Check out what they shared.
Chris Hicks, Director of Nursing: Once courses moved online, nursing students were no longer able to do clinical rotations at the many hospitals and facilities that ASUN partners with across the state. Hicks demoed how they are utilizing ATI software to provide simulations for students. The video software allows for students to see clinical examples of healthcare practices and problem solve as patients explain their symptoms. The faculty members received great feedback from students regarding the new clinical tool. Megan Huffman, Instructor of Life Science: Huffman is utilizing her YouTube page to keep students engaged. Using Zoom, she holds live lectures that are recorded and shared on her YouTube page. She imbeds the videos into her Canvas course, ASUN’s online learning management software, to allow students to access videos easily. To keep her students engaged at home, Megan took her students on a virtual tour of her reptile room. Mark Hanan, Coordinator of IGNITE/Advanced Instructor of Computer Networking Technology: The use of computers at home is now at an all-time high as many people work and educate from home. Hanan is using Google Chrome Remote Desktop to help his students troubleshoot
