Untethered Faculty Development

How does a university increase its online and blended courses while maintaining a student-centered mission and inspiring faculty to change? Teaching and Learning Innovations (T&LI) at CSU Channel Islands emerged organically through collaborative efforts between senior management and faculty. A blend of IT and Academic Affairs and led by a team of past/current faculty and students, T&LI provides an untethered model of faculty development and support that reimagines the workshop approach. The T&LI Pathways model immerses faculty in online and blended learning that models the potential of technology to connect people, build relationships, and foster community.
