1. Support: Provide white-glove service to students and faculty during live 2U-powered class sessions.

3. Observe: See the student and faculty experience during an actual class environment and learn how they run.

4. Network: Join a lively Google Chat filled with experts on all things digital education and andragogy, meet and collaborate with members of Faculty Success and other departments. 

Why are we offering this certification?

"If faculty win, then students win."

To ensure the best learning environment for our students, all new faculty members receive technical and moral support during their first two live sessions. The Faculty Success team is calling for YOUR help in assisting our faculty during the busiest term starts (January, May, and September). Not only will you contribute to the success of our faculty members, but you will also gain opportunities to network with other 2Utes, upskill your technical proficiency, and observe the culmination of your hard work in a real-time classroom. It's a win-win! 

 Expectations

2Utes will occasionally be asked to support live sessions during our busiest times of the year.  We typically have overflow needs in 2-3 week intervals in January, April, May, August, September, & October.  These live sessions are often held between 5 pm-10 pm ET Monday and Thursday. This is voluntary, but the program's goal is to provide opportunities for 2Utes to experience classes in programs they work closely with. 

Approval

In order to participate in this training program and cover live sessions, a 2Ute’s manager must be aware and approve. Any overtime would be covered by the 2Utes department and not by Faculty Success. 

If you have questions/concerns about this, please reach out to Rhonda Shields, Manager, Faculty Engagement, and Development, at rshield1@umbc.edu or Google Chat.
