Improving Outcomes with Faculty Development

The pandemic offered an opportunity for colleges to amplify the value of their online programs in order to increase student enrollment, success, and completion, while reducing equity gaps in those metrics. This is especially relevant for programs that shifted rapidly to online formats for the first time. The California Virtual Campus (CVC) offers an ever-growing set of free and low-cost @ONE courses, webinars, just-in-time help aids, and other resources to help California Community College faculty support online students more effectively. This includes research-based strategies and tools to improve online course design and online teaching. Using a case study format, we’ll share what colleges have done to improve student engagement and outcomes. Let us share how you can take your online programs and courses to the next level!
