Best Practices for Teaching Online
Mountain View College (MVC) and the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) joined forces to design, develop, and promote a nationally recognized professional learning program that supports faculty and instructional initiatives. The first collaboration aims to incorporate universal standards into online teaching and learning while providing national recognition for faculty who successfully complete a series of openly accessible courses. The idea is to increase awareness of best practices at higher education institutions across the country and provide external recognition to online faculty at NISOD member institutions.
Access directions to this very valuable webinar are for Temple College faculty only. Available here.
