Meet Rose Olson-Long, Director of the Hybrid Doctor of Chiropractic Program at Parker University in Dallas, Texas.
We join Rose Olson-Long as she enjoys a typical day as a Parker University professor, from the moment she steps on campus, to her morning chai latte, to checking in on her courses using Brightspace. Olson-Long checks in on her students while she goes about her morning routine by leveraging Intelligent Agents. She then heads over to the innovative Virtual Anatomy Lab, where students can interact with cutting-edge anatomy tech. Olson-Long emphasizes Parker University's supportive environment and the seamless integration of Brightspace in both physical and virtual spaces.
