In Memorium: Dr. Karen Swan

Abstract

The community that makes up the Online Learning journal lost a colleague, leader, and dear friend recently.  Dr. Karen Swan, a founding member of the Online Learning Consortium and the James J. Stukel Distinguished Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Illinois Springfield passed away on September 5, 2021.  Karen was a central figure on the editorial board of this journal and we will miss her wisdom, kindness, and spirit.
