Higher education
instructors need to learn anew and rethink pedagogical strategies when
designing and teaching online and blended delivery formats. Instructors crave
opportunities to discuss and share their experiences with others. Yet there are
few opportunities in their work to do so. This episode, part of the Adult
Learning Exchange Virtual Community Podcast, under the Series “Professional
Development for Instructors,” is for administrators, faculty developers, and
instructors. This episode explains the importance of professional development
for instructors and how instructors can benefit. Subscribe to or follow the online forum. If you are interested
