Faculty Development as Flexible Performance: Towards a Competency-Based Curri...Andrew Tatusko
Description
The Penn State World Campus faculty development curriculum focuses on topics of interest and competencies for effective online teaching and trains faculty to understand those competencies, but it is light on assessing faculty competence for online teaching. The program also does not have robust incentives for faculty to persist in their acquisition of new skills. Finally, faculty are coming to online teaching with prior learning and competencies that we do not measure and so, we have not had a mechanism to offer them different levels of competency mastery.
The redesign of the Penn State World Campus Faculty Development program fuses research in competency-based curriculum and the Teaching for Understanding (TfU) framework (Wiske, 1998) in order for faculty to demonstrate understanding of online teaching and learning through flexible performances. The foundation for the new curriculum is a map that faculty can use to support and improve their online teaching consistent with their prior learning and experience. The curriculum also breaks ground by using Penn State University’s new badging system as a way to assess and track faculty achievements and progress through the curriculum.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending this session, audience members will …
see how the Penn State World Campus faculty development unit scales its work to meet the needs of a large population of faculty and students.
gain a working knowledge of competency-based learning and the Teaching for Understanding framework.
gain a working knowledge of how badging and competence are linked.
discuss strategies for assessing faculty competence in teaching and learning.
draft one flexible performance they can implement with their faculty to assess one skill or competency in teaching and learning.

How can an Instructional Designer help?Inge de Waard
The purpose of this presentation is to give an easy overview of what an Instructional Designer can add to transform courses given by Higher Ed teachers. This presentation was given in Stockholm, Sweden as part of the SELECT 2017 InnoEnergy meeting. This meeting brought all the SELECT partners together to see which educational elements could be transformed into online nuggets, modules or courses.

Presented at the 2017 Faculty Summer Institute
Research suggests that building a strong sense of connectedness in an online course promotes
student success, engages students, and retains students. This requires that you establish a strong
teaching presence within the course, and that you create structures for students to form a community.
In this session, you will learn strategies to make your online course more personal and techniques to
build faculty and student presence in your online course.

Materials used for the Swansea University SALT Conference 2013 Round Table session. The aim was to stimulate debate on student reading and how to encourage it. We had a packed, lively session - hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
Note: the slides were printed on A4 in colour with a set of quotes/ideas to tackle the issue back-to-back. This was used as the focus for discussion.
