Learning Circle: Innovations in Faculty Development

Created by Carly Born (Carleton College) on January 29, 2008
  • faculty learning communities tied to the mission of the university
  • alternative modes for outreach (underground movements)
  • food, alcohol
  • brown bags, enticing by doing short tech intros over the period of lunch
  • require fac to submit proposals for summer development projects
  • core literacies for technology
  • faculty come to the table when tech solves a problem, so how do we create those problem spaces
  • what you call it matters, 'workshop' is a dirty word, call it 'faculty prep'
  • developing online learning communities to compliment faculty learning communities
  • engage librarians in faculty development
  • need to build long term trust relationships with faculty before they will engage in the risk-taking of exploring new methodologies
  • Theme-based events to create ambience at workshops (e.g. Indy 500)
  • getting faculty to present their work to other faculty, getting them to talk to each other about what they do
  • helping faculty to understand where to go for what kind of help
