Doctoral Assignment #2: DiP Proposal

This Dissertation-in-Practice (DiP) proposal investigates how community-college faculty integrate multimedia into online teaching after participating in structured professional development. Grounded in the TPACK framework (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), the study examines the connection between technological skill-building and pedagogically sound instructional practice. Through qualitative methods, including interviews and live observations, the research explores how training influences faculty behavior, engagement, and course design in real-world settings. The findings aim to inform more effective, equity-minded faculty-development models that move beyond tool use toward meaningful, lasting innovation in teaching and learning across higher education.
