"I'm Not Sharing My Work!" An Approach to Community Building
Lewis, David; Slapak-Barski, Judith
Quarterly Review of Distance Education, v15 n2 p9-20 2014
The faculty of a large southeastern university were brought together to form a "community of faculty." With support from a federal grant we set out to build what came to be called the Faculty Toolbox. This website serves as a public repository that brought together the faculty to share and contribute to its library of shared resources. In doing so we developed a faculty development process and trained faculty to work together to improve their technology skills to produce open educational resources, to be used in our online and campus-based courses.
