Abstract

As the popularity of online education increases and institutions seek to grow their online offerings to meet student demand, more faculty need to be trained to teach online. Campus offices such as Faculty Development centers are often tasked with training faculty for teaching online, many of whom my be adjuncts who cannot attend in-person training or commit to a specific timeframe for participation. In this paper, a flexible and customizable self-paced training model for preparing faculty to teach online is described and suggestions shared for institutions seeking to offer self-paced online professional development training opportunities for faculty.
