Effective Live Online Faculty Development Workshops: One Model
Blyth, Russell D.; May, Michael K.; Rainbolt, Julianne G.
EDUCAUSE Quarterly, v29 n4 p33-40 2006
This article describes live, online faculty development workshops that show faculty how to use software packages (to date, GAP and Maple) in teaching college-level mathematics. The authors' primary goal in this article is to encourage others in any discipline to run similar online workshops by providing a resource for their successful operation, even if different technologies are selected to run them. Here, the authors outline the structure of their five-day workshops, specify the free software the remote workshop participants use to connect, discuss the technology solutions chosen, and explain why they believe their workshops are effective both pedagogically and financially. (Contains 5 figures and 7 endnotes.)
