Program activities will occur primarily through a course website to give faculty participants firsthand experiences as online learners. For most participants, this is a self-paced course. Depending on the professional development resources at your campus, these online learning activities may be supplemented by a formal mentoring program and monthly face-to-face support meetings. Contact the professional development coordinator on your campus about any such opportunities.
