POD Conference 2021

Now more than ever, faculty development centers are asked to imagine programming in modalities that fit the practical and personal needs of diverse faculty bodies. Particularly for institutions that employ significant numbers of remote, part-time adjunct faculty, on-demand, asynchronous faculty development can offer flexible timing, long-term professional development, and cost effectiveness. Yet the question remains: how do we build community, a critical need in professional development, into asynchronous resources? Join us as we outline the design, execution, and assessment of a blended model of professional development that joins self-paced, asynchronous teaching and learning modules with a synchronous virtual collaborative.
