This session will explain the evolution of an online teaching certification program for faculty transitioning to online to one that provides for continuous improvement in online design and pedagogy. Additionally, participants will discuss the disparities between faculty who have been trained to effectively create and facilitate online courses and campus supervisors who are responsible for evaluating their instruction. We will provide recommendations for implementing a development program for novice as well as experienced faculty and discuss how to structure a program to meet the needs of supervisors learning how to effectively assess the design, development, and delivery of online courses.
