Teaching Initiatives

  • Hybrid Flipped Classroom, Davis Foundation Grant
    Contracted by Salve Regina University to develop a hybrid course for a grant-funded (Davis Education Foundation) innovative pedagogy initiative that combines online learning, flipped classroom, and experiential learning (networked curriculum).  Taught 2 sections along with the entire online student portion of this course in the Fall of 2015.
  • Hootsuite Certification
    Students in MGT 399 Social Media Marketingparticipate in Hootsuite’s Higher Education Program.  Hootsuite is currently the most widely used platform for managing social media in the workplace.  30 students went through several course modules at Hootsuite University and achieved “Hootsuite Certified” status after passing a proficiency exam monitored by Hootsuite.
  • Focus on Experiential Learning
    On a semester-by-semester basis, the courses I teach are updated to reflect new trends and happenings within the industry. In courses such as MGT 280 Principles of Marketing & MGT 390 Marketing Communications, a “flipped classroom” approach is employed. Courses are not structured around a traditional lecture, but rather a combination of discussion and practical application.
  • International Competitions
    Students in MGT 390 Marketing Communications focus their semester around the Marketing Edge College ECHO Marketing Challenge:

Student Reviews

10 years of consistent, above-average teaching evaluations for both graduate and undergraduate classes available upon request. Select verbatim responses from students:

I learned more in these past 7 weeks than I’ve learned in a year at other institutions.
I appreciated every class. Jen always provided us with the most up to date information and continually showed both enthusiasm and interest in each of us. It was evident she was knowledgeable in her field. I enjoyed each and every class with Jen and I am grateful for all she taught me. I know it will be truly beneficial as I continue my journey in healthcare. She was never judgmental or critical and always greeted us with her wonderful smile. I will miss her.
There is nothing to dislike about Marketing Communications. Professor Bonoff is wonderful! This is the second time I have had her as a professor here at Salve and she truly loves the students and is willing to meet at any time. She knows how to apply what we learn from the textbook to the marketing world (especially her own business) and even helps us incorporate it into our own projects!
Professor Bonoff is great! Always has a great and positive attitude when walking into class and helps her students in any way possible. She is very interactive with her students and creates a lot of activities for her students to brainstorm and think for their own.
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Bonoff was always prepared and ready to help as needed. She is very approachable and kind and I never felt overwhelmed with the task given. The video clips and group work encouraged independent and creative thinking. What I liked least about the class was that it was only 50 minutes long.
Professor Bonoff really shows great enthusiasm about marketing which makes me want to push myself to do better.
This course forced me to challenge myself and allowed me to gain experience with working in groups. The content was difficult yet manageable. It expanded my ability to work with others and has helped me develop new techniques and ways of thinking.

Dissertation
Mobility and Emergent Consumptionscapes: Changing Consumer Experiences and Behaviors and the Role of the Marketer Within the Mobile Liminoid

Major Professor: Hillary A. Leonard, Ph.D.
Committee Members: Hillary A. Leonard, Ph.D., Nikhilesh Dholakia, Ph.D., Ian Reyes, Ph.D.
Proposal Defended: May 2017
IRB Approval: August 8, 2017
Status: The research has been conducted and the final stages of data analysis are taking place. Expected Defense: Fall 2018

Enhancing the consumer experience is at the forefront of the marketing discipline from an industry perspective. From a theoretical perspective, a significant gap exists relating to research of consumer experiences within emerging technosocial mobile spaces. Building on the literature relating to mobilities, changing consumptionscapes and the liminoid, and the proliferation of DSMM (Digital, Social Media, Mobile Marketing), I propose a deeper exploration of changing consumer experiences and behaviors within these new mobile environments to uncover how the physical, social, and cultural contextual dimensions (e.g. emotion, attachment, intrusiveness, crowdedness) are affecting and shaping how people consume and behave in these spaces, and how these dimensions are relevant to marketing within these spaces.

My research will be qualitative in nature as a “commonly acknowledged goal of qualitative research is to create understanding” (Belk, et al., 2013, p. 185). The research will be guided by Turner’s liminoid framework for considering consumption and will begin with depth interviews conducted to saturation to determine how contextual dimensions are affecting consumption behavior within mobile environments.

In an effort to inform an `in situ’ investigation, the research will culminate with a mobile diary study. Key informants will be asked to maintain personal introspective diaries for a period of one week recording thoughts, feelings etc. throughout the day in order to gain a deeper insight into consumer experiences and behaviors in the mobile liminoid.

Through my proposed research, I anticipate a significant contribution to marketing theory and practice while advancing knowledge. Particularly, this research will:

1. Examine whether contextual dimensions in the “mobile liminoid” play a role in the consumption experience within emerging mobile environments and, if so, how do these dimensions influence behavior relevant to marketing within these mobile environments?

2. Provide guidance to marketing managers to enhance consumption within the mobile liminoid.
