Still looking into the PD aspect of online teaching and learning, I came across a number of interesting teaching strategies:
- inclusion of adult learning theory in training
- build upon current expertise of faculty member
- just-in-time mentoring supports
- a phased approach, i.e. teacher as learner to teacher as adopter to teacher as co-leader to teacher as re-affirmer to teacher as leader (Palloff & Pratt, 2011)
- community learning approach, i.e. use of brown bag lunch workshops
- use of faculty topics of interest
