Active Engagement over Passive Resistance: Understanding Faculty Roles in Technological Adoption

At National University, geography is one of the challenges we face when attempting to create a faculty community that fosters innovation, drives excellence, and centralizes resources, as our faculty are scattered across a vast distance. How do we create a virtual space that connects faculty and actively engages them in an ongoing discussion of best practices, innovations, and challenges? Built on Goingon, an academic social platform, the Faculty Center has created a virtual community that supports the institutional aims of centralization. It provides a space where all faculty can access resources, tools, and communities related to their teaching.
