Featured Higher Education Presenter: Jeanne Widen, Ph.D.
These days, when you’re managing something, like the ever-expanding pool of online adjunct faculty, extra insight can help you keep pace with the changes even when resources are tight.
10 Ways to Support Adjunct Faculty in Small Online Programs, a 75-minute audio online seminar presented by Dr. Jeanne Widen, has the information you need to help your online faculty become better teachers – without maxing out your resources.
Dr. Widen’s unique approach concentrates on adapting existing structures and systems. It’s based on her extensive experience as a distance education administrator and faculty member, so it takes the realities of smaller colleges and universities into account.
How this seminar will help you
10 Ways to Support Adjunct Faculty in Small Online Programs offers practical guidance on how to help your online adjunct faculty improve their teaching skills. Here’s some of what you’ll learn:
• How to promote academic accountability, institutional values and a consistent educational approach
• How to promote professional development through your performance review process
• How to provide guidance through faculty mentors and department chairs
• How to integrate online adjunct faculty with the rest of your campus through recognition programs, webcasts and direct involvement in curriculum review and revision.
Valuable Supplemental Materials
Dr. Widen has created a package of supplemental tools that can help you implement her suggestions, including: examples of feedback, performance reviews guidelines and rubric, and a sample faculty senate constitution. These materials in themselves are worth the price of the online seminar.
This seminar is about helping you
Dr. Widen will offer polling questions during the live seminar to give you an opportunity to include your input. She'll want to know which administrative structures you have in place for online adjunct faculty, and she'll offer advice on how to use your existing structure to make improvements in how your campus supports online adjuncts. During the Q & A section, you can seek answers to your specific online faculty management questions.
