the same LMS course space and the instructional designer workswith each faculty member teaching their first online class at least a semester before thatcourse is offered. This collaboration is the first step in establishing that the onlinestudents are an equal part of the learning CoP. This collaboration begins with a focus onlearning outcomes and corresponding activities and assessments to ensure that the onlinelearners are able to fully participate. As well, the importance of fully integrating thedistance learners into the classroom CoP is emphasized. This involves paying attentionto details like inclusive syllabus language that explicitly recognizes both learneraudiences in cases where course components necessarily involve differing

other communication avenues to share announcements and opportunities.The event concluded with a discussion on topics that also constituted post-event assignments,including registering and preparing for both the career exploration symposium and themultidisciplinary introductory course (vide infra). Finally, trainees were given time to take ananonymous survey designed to evaluate the onboarding and orientation session.The fact that this session had to be held online due to COVID-19 made possible for the event tobe both broadcast and recorded. This enabled the remote synchronous attendance of internationaltrainees that had not yet traveled to the United States to begin their graduate studies due to thetravel restrictions related to the pandemic

opportunities for current students, and toopen up the pool of possible students interested in this field. Expanding educational opportunitiesby developing online delivery of wind energy graduate courses is one strategy to address muchneeded diversity in the field. Building upon the literature of previous successful consortiumdevelopment, a new replicable model for setting up a consortium was created, called the Rapidmodel, with the name reflecting the goal to implement a new consortium within one year.Researchers conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of the model, through observingprogram meetings, interviewing faculty, staff and administrators engaged in the consortiumdevelopment work, and examining course sharing outcomes.

Simultaneously,Alice was revising the course to be able to be presented online pre-COVID (although withsynchronous components). Alice and Kristen worked together over spring 2019 to incorporatesome of the ideas Kristen had been developing into the course. Kristen advised on a structure tointroduce the content, suggested papers, modeled graphical page forms on papers my studentswere reading, and Kristen’s graduate student, Kehinde, produced 4 introductory videos forAlice’s students to watch.Casey, as a scholar in chemistry education, took a different course with Alice on race
