Session Type: Afternoon Seminar
Teaching effectively within a technology-rich environment is challenging. Coupled with shifting student expectations, emerging evidence regarding how people learn, and an evolving technology environment, ongoing support to help faculty develop their technical and pedagogical skills and understanding is essential for individual and institutional success.
We believe meeting these challenges requires a new approach to faculty development. In this seminar, we will share our approach to faculty development, which has been refined over 12 years of practice. We have designed this interactive workshop to facilitate participant design or redesign of programs aiming to help faculty develop the skill and understanding necessary to teach in technology-rich learning environments.
We will consider five key dimensions of faculty development: guiding principles for program design and delivery; rich assessment and evaluation practice; strategic planning and funding faculty development programs; marketing and administering faculty development programs; and human resources considerations for educational technology support units.
