Professional Development Oppertunities

We understand that it is very important to keep up to date with new teaching and learning pedagogies and technology. To assist faculty in this difficult task, we offer many different Professional Development opportunities. Below you can find more information about these opportunities and links to more resources that will help you to develop your teaching skills.

Live Sessions

Throughout the year we offer many live in person and virtual sessions. These sessions are designed to help answer your questions about different teaching and learning pedagogies and technology that are not answered by the materials in our Support Guides.

If you are interested in seeing what opportunities we have available right now, or would like to register for one of our current sessions, check our calendar.

Support Guides

We know that faculty have busy schedules and don't always have time to attend our scheduled sessions. To address the issue of faculty who want to improve their skills in their own time we have developed materials that faculty can review when it is most convenient for their schedules.

See these Knowledge Base pages for more information on various services and tools.

One-on-one Pedagogy Support

If you have a question about how to implement an assignment or something isn't working as you expected, you can either call, email, or drop by our office. One of our Faculty Support Specialists will then work with you to either resolve your issue or determine what the next steps should be to get your issue resolved.

Course Building

The goal of the Course Building Process is to build quality courses by using best practices through the methodology of the Course Development Life Cycle (CDLC). Best practices suggest that partnering the content expert with a course builder/designer allows the content expert to focus on developing quality course content, instead of focusing their time on the arrangement of materials, course layout and design within the learning management system.

Our Faculty Support Specialist can help:

Develop program-level templates
Redesign courses or learning modules
Work one-on-one with faculty to plan new or updated courses
Plan Organizations for program-level information
Evaluate courses using our Quality Course Review Rubric
