It Takes a Village: Building Capacity in Online Learning and Leveraging Professional Collaborations

This session will illuminate the importance of collaboration to build capacity in online learning. During a time when many institutions' funds and human resources are limited, it is important to capitalize on all relationships. The presentation will describe at length the opportunity one university used to increase faculty access and professional development in online teaching and learning using the Sloan Consortium. This issue is of particular importance to practitioners, instructional designers, and senior higher education IT administrators who are looking for additional alternatives to provide quality and effective support that is scalable and sustainable.
