The Laurentian University CAE Coffee House: Developing a Physical and Virtual Faculty Learning Community
Brockerhoff-Macdonald, Bettina; Brennan, Kelly; Houle, Megan
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v13 p140-147 2020
Laurentian University's Teaching and Innovation team recently created the virtual CAE Coffeehouse, an online repository of a variety of faculty development resources. The online CAE Coffeehouse supports the physical in-person Faculty Learning Community through web-streamed workshops, drop-in hours, a teaching "book club", individual consultation sessions, and various departmental outreach initiatives. This article presents the characteristics of a Faculty Learning Community (FLC), as defined by Cox (2004, 2013), and a Professional Learning Community (PLC), as defined by Cherrington et al., (2018), and describes how the development of the CAE Coffeehouse builds upon these principles to extend the community into a virtual space.
