Faculty Development for Blended and Online Learning: How Grad Students Can Teach While They Learn
The Online Learning Lab offers a model for faculty development for blended and online learning environments that combines a reduced cost with maximum benefit for participating institutions. These benefits include a better-trained faculty, practical experiences for graduate students, limited institutional investment, and a continually-improving distributed learning environment.
The presentation will cover the following topics:
* background and rationale
* creating and maintaining a working faculty development system for blended and online learning
* specific job tasks and strategies used by the Lab
* the roles and challenges of managing part-time faculty development staff with high turnover
* the mechanics of working with faculty
* issues of planning, accountability, delivery, and evaluation of Lab activities
* the symbiotic relationship of faculty learning from students teaching
