Faculty, Faculty Development, and Presented at Southeast Regional Conferences

Will faculty reduce lectures, become facilitators of learning, and adopt interactive learning methods? Are development tools available to help bring about these changes? Will students benefit? These questions will be addressed in Florida Community College's presentation of the SIRIUS Project involving over 300 faculty.

The University of Mississippi recently implemented an online faculty activity reporting system that allows users to submit details of creative, research, and service activities while automatically incorporating course, committee, and other existing information from SAP's Campus Management module. This presentation will examine the development, deployment, and benefits of this complex system.

Different models for faculty development are needed in different situations. In this session, learning technology professionals from three institutions will describe and discuss issues unique to their faculty development needs and how they are successfully addressing them at their institutions with customized training and development programs.
