Dr. Michael Grahame Moore is Professor Emeritus of Education at the Pennsylvania State University. He is known for his major contributions to the field of distance education. In 1972, he published his first statement of theory. His theory stated that "distance education is not simply a geographical separation of learners and teachers, but, more importantly, is a pedagogical concept". After approximately 11 years, Moore was finally able to put a name to his theory; Transactional Distance Theory. After many years of working in different countries, Moore was employed by the Pennsylvania State University as a Professor of Education in the Department of Learning and Performance Systems. There he taught the first course developed in distance education. Around the same time, he planned an Annual Distance Education Conference, which was the first of its kind, in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1986, he launched the American Center for Study of Distance Education and subsequently developed the first American Journal of Distance Education; the first educational journal to be developed in the United States. Moore served on all editorial boards relating to distant education journals. He was successful in publishing over 100 articles and two books, with translations in four different languages. In 2002, Moore was inducted into the United States Distance Learning Association Hall of Fame〔()〕 and subsequently in 2013, he was inducted into the Adult Education Hall of Fame. ==Personal life== Michael Graham Moore grew up in England and enjoys spending summers at his apartment in Devon, with his wife.
