ABSTRACT An integral part of a public affairs education is our ability as educators to adapt and respond to the skills needed for a diverse and changing workforce. Historically, public administration programs have been responsive to an ever-changing workforce by the way we deliver curriculum (e.g., face to face, online, hybrid). This paper invites us to consider a shift in our thinking about course delivery and questions how we can provide an immersive learning experience for our fully online students. In this paper, I suggest Master of Public Administration programs (MPA) should consider the use of telepresence robots so fully online students can also experience a more immersive learning environment. Documenting 20 student experiences in a rural, Western state, this research offers the rich potential for us to rethink the future of public administration course delivery and offer an additional access point for education.

网真机器人：公共管理课程交付的新模式

摘要 公共事务教育的一个组成部分是我们作为教育工作者能够适应和应对多样化和不断变化的劳动力所需的技能。从历史上看，公共行政课程一直通过我们提供课程的方式（例如，面对面、在线、混合）来响应不断变化的劳动力。本文邀请我们考虑转变对课程交付的看法，并质疑我们如何为完全在线的学生提供身临其境的学习体验。在本文中，我建议公共管理硕士 (MPA) 课程应该考虑使用远程呈现机器人，这样完全在线的学生也可以体验更加身临其境的学习环境。记录 20 名学生在西部农村的经历，
