Abstract

Faculty development continues to be an important topic in online education. As online program and course offerings are growing and adopted in popularity with many traditional brick and mortar universities, it is causing many institutions to look at how they are providing support, training, guidance, and professional development to the faculty who are teaching in these programs. This chapter will explore how one faculty development department has instituted several best practices to support their faculty at an online institution.
