Faculty Development Programs are Essential

Before teaching online, faculty should participate in a formal faculty development program. There are numerous opportunities in this area:

The Sloan Consortium offers a certificate in the area of online teaching.

The University of Illinois offers the Making the Virtual Classroom a Reality (MVCR) faculty development program through the Illinois Online Network.

The University of Illinois at Springfield offers a number of faculty development opportunities in the area of online teaching through OTEL/COLRS and COPE-L.

The University of Illinois at Springfield is the lead institution in the New Century Learning Consortium (NCLC).
