We are pleased to be able to offer professional development online training opportunities for faculty through one-time federal funding.
Therefore, these opportunities have a May 2022 deadline for completion and expenditure of the funds.

These funds will help to:

1. Enhance the knowledge & skills of faculty in online learning technologies.

2. Increase the number and variety of faculty and courses that can pivot to online instructional modalities and operate robustly with a more resilient curriculum in the face of a global pandemic, natural disaster or other disruptions more mundane (short-term or long-term faculty absences, building renovations, etc.).

In the first case, faculty are invited to request funding for training by submission of an Advanced Online Training form.

In the second case, faculty are also invited to request extra compensation for work done to develop and/or convert courses with appropriate online best practice pedagogies to be delivered in these formats by submitting a Course Redesign Agreement form.

To be eligible to participate, faculty must have completed the mandatory online training that has been offered to date, that is the T2TOL course and one other which are described below:
