Michael G. Moore

Curriculum and Instructional Design Theorists

Michael Grahame Moore is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Education at the Pennsylvania State University, known for his major contributions to the field of distance education. In 1972 he published his first statement of distance learning theory, which asserted that distance education is not simply a geographical separation of learners and teachers but is a pedagogical concept. His seminal Theory of Transactional Distance describes the relationship between course design, interaction and respect for individual learner autonomy, and was developed by Moore in the 1970s.
