Abstract
LESSONS LEARNED: A 360 Degree Review of Faculty Development Resources
This paper reflects on the process, results, and lessons learned from a comprehensive review of the professional development resources and program provided for Engineering faculty by a distance education support unit at a large research university. The purpose of the review is to determine the overall effectiveness and value of the resources currently offered and to gain input from the faculty community and other stakeholders that may lead to an improved program. The study considers and compares four different perspectives: input from faculty who have participated in the program, input from faculty who have not participated in the program, input from the facilitators of the program, and data analytics of web-based resources. This lessons learned paper will be presented as a poster session. The preferred presentation method for this Lessons Learned paper is as a Poster.
