Edison Online Faculty Institute - May 8 and 9

Please mark your calendars for Edison Online’s first Faculty Conference. It will be held Friday afternoon, May 8, and Saturday, May 9, on the Lee Campus. Our keynote speakers on Saturday will be Drs. Rena Palloff and Keith Pratt, from the Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. Their most recent book, Building Online Learning Communities explores the development of virtual classroom environments. They will focus on techniques that foster a sense of community and empower students to take charge of their learning to successfully achieve learning outcomes.

Friday afternoon’s workshop will highlight our new assessment tool, Waypoint Outcomes. A Friday afternoon social hour will follow.

Saturday, Drs. Palloff and Pratt will present a morning workshop, followed by a luncheon for all attendees. There will be several breakout sessions and workshops on Saturday afternoon. Topics will include: software tools available; what works and what doesn’t; managing the difficult student; assuring robust courses using Quality Matters.

This is a unique opportunity for the online faculty to meet and discuss our first year of Edison Online, and to plan for the growth and enhancement of our online classes. It has been an exciting year, and it is time to reflect upon our success and to plan for the future.

Registration is available for all three events. Please take the time to register, so that we have an accurate count of who will be attending. We look forward to seeing you May 8 and 9!

There are real-time online conferences every day, with many interesting topics that relate to teaching online.

We have purchased a college-wide registration, which will allow all faculty to participate. I will send the login information out when I receive it. Session details will be available online around April 1.

Please mark your calendars and take advantage of this wonderful "virtual" trip to Hawaii!
