 What is a Faculty Learning Community?A
faculty learning community (FLC) is a small group of faculty members who meet
together over a period of time to enhance their understanding and practice of
some specific aspect of faculty work. Development through a faculty learning
community is more targeted, application focused and longstanding community of
practice than development through standard, one-time events, such as workshops
and round tables. For more info and the underlying scholarship, see the Miami Ohio U FLC site. 2009 - 2010 Faculty Learning Communities Applications for 2009-2010 Faculty Learning Communities were distributed via e-mail and via hard copy in campus mailboxes the first week of Fall Quarter 2009. Based on the applications returned by the deadline of 9/25/09, there was interest and time availability that matched up for two Faculty Learning Communities: Improving Learning with Powerpoint
Improving Learning with Active Learning
These groups will be working with their peers to do scholarly research projects related to each community's theme over the next seven months. They will be then presenting their project research to the NC State community in April of 2010. To compensate participating faculty for their efforts, they will be receiving either an Ideapad laptop (Poweproint group) or an iPod Touch (Active Learning group) and relevant books. Current Status: These Learning Communities will have Kick Off Meetings on 10/23/09. 2008-2009 NC State Pilot Faculty Learning Communities Two NC State Pilot Faculty Learning Communities were initiated by the Distance Learning Department in 2008. A call for applicants was put out at the end of Spring Quarter 2008 and the Communities were initiated with a kick off meeting on September 17, 2008 at the Kehoe Center. The Communities ran from Fall Quarter 2008 thru Spring Quarter 2009. Both FLCs presented their individual projects to the NC State community on the Faculty/Staff Development Day, April 24, 2009. below are digital versions of the FLC participants research and findings:
