Abstract:
To support the growth of its blended courses, Bronx Community College (BCC), a unit of the City University of New York (CUNY), participated in a CUNY-sponsored initiative to increase blended learning options for students. The initiative allowed BCC to expand its existing faculty development program. This paper describes major aspects of the program, including strategies for faculty recruitment, face-to-face and online workshop activities, faculty peer mentoring, recruitment and utilization of students as Instructional Technology Tutors, and the documentation created in order to evaluate program activities.
