ASTD2014 Session m220 virtual faculty training tools for growth and collaboration
ASTD2014 Presentation --- Online colleges need online training. This has pluses and minuses. Higher education was built on Sage-on-the-Stage, but learning theory shows that this isn't the best method for effective learning. For faculty training, the e-learning team at NECB chose to capitalize on Canvas, the new learning management system, to build out a platform to connect faculty and to share best practices. As a college espousing interactive learning, it was important to create synchronous and asynchronous faculty training programs that allowed faculty to interact in ways similar to what is expected of the students. In this session, the speakers will share how the e-learning team took faculty training from monthly teleconferences to quarterly interactive, synchronous workshops and built out a portal to allow for asynchronous interaction for just-in-time assistance. Faculty members rave about the ability to stay connected, and find the information they need, as well as up-to-the-minute resources to hone their skills and deliver the best education possible to our students.Higher Ed ID staff will be able to apply similar models for training their faculty.
