Abstract

The following Lessons Learned paper focuses on how our department stepped up during the pandemic to help faculty transition to a new learning management system when most faculty began teaching online for the first time. Faculty needed to quickly move from face-to-face to online delivery while the university administration pushed for more student engagement. The challenge was to reach a broader audience and develop content relevant to their immediate needs while at the same time introducing them to our department and providing a means for them to continue their development with a wide range of workshops, on-demand content, and training. This lightning talk will briefly show how the department developed the curriculum, delivered workshops serving a large number of faculty during this shift in course delivery, and (by analyzing registration and attendance data and web analytics) learned how to serve faculty in the future.
