Using the foundation of the ExCEEd model[2], a teaching workshop was developed to provide participants with 13 seminars and twodemonstration classes that incorporate principles of successful higher educational instruction.An important component of the workshop is that participants immediately apply the conceptslearned throughout the workshop.Prior to the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, the Commission on College Teaching was workingon expanding its successful

The interviews included discussions of thepedagogy’s faculty used within their newly designed courses, who faculty interacted with and howthey gained the ethical and intercultural competencies, and the challenges faculty faced inredesigning the courses. Preliminary results have found that some of the more common challengesthat faculty are facing is the lack of institutional guidance and resources, the lack of support fromother faculty, and a lack of time to implement the required changes. Moving forward, we plan toexpand this study to reinterview faculty as the program progresses and faculty learn more abouthow to teach in online settings. 1. Introduction Ethical and global

Several reasons for students dropping out from the online courses/programs have beendocumented, including feeling isolated [6], challenges with balancing academics and personaldemands [7-9], inadequate faculty and peer support [6][9-10], challenges with technology [7][11],and lack of engagement [7][11-12].

Considered a critical instructionalstrategy for aiding students in developing durable professional “soft” skills [8, 9], team-basedlearning involves collaborative interactions among students to achieve a common design goal.To be sure, the ability to function on teams and communicate effectively are two process skillsthat all engineering students should acquire as a result of completing a post-secondary programof study in engineering [10]. In engineering, team-based learning often occurs through product orprocess design projects.

Furthermore, many facultiesstill seem to avoid such technologies altogether, as they see them to be too complex foradoption in parallel to the daily running teaching business [2], [3]. At least VR, AR, and MRtechnologies have not yet made their way into the group of everyday instructionaltechnologies like learning management systems or even online course delivery tools.
