Webinar Summary
Can two full-time and two adjunct faculty members, one dean, and an eLearning director create an online course to promote professional development for new adjunct faculty? Alyson Indrunas will share strategies administrators at Everett Community College used to collaborate with faculty members and encourage them to use online resources to improve student engagement and retention. The college received a five-year Title III grant which administrators initiated in fall 2012 to strengthen academic programs by improving course delivery. The project focused on instituting faculty development initiatives to expand Quality Matters assessments, use eLearning tools, and develop annual cohorts of newly-hired faculty. Four faculty mentors from three different disciplines led the effort, by providing training, one-to-one assistance, and assessment.
