Tracks: Instructional Technology

Speaker(s): Julin Sharp, Assistant Vice President of Information Technology, Marist College

When online instructors don’t receive quality training to transition from traditional classroom best practices to online best practices that encourage engagement through social interactions, cognitive experiences, and instructor interaction, students may disengage. Instructional technology leaders must continue developing transition plans and best practices as technology evolves while encouraging working relationships between instructional designers, educational technologists, and faculty. This session will focus on current research and concrete ways to engage and train faculty to become quality online instructors.
