"Online Education as a Discipline" (2021) was the culmination of 25 years, and has been read by around 8,000 teachers and researchers worldwide at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353073973 (15 recommendations) and https://doi.org/10.20935/AL434

Educators and scholars in all fields should find the article informative. It has been cited mostly in reference to Emergency Remote Teaching, but it goes beyond that issue to the role of academics in society, and the case of India. It defines terms including online education, and starts by explaining the difference between a field and a discipline.
