Workshop focus:faculty development research round table
How do faculty development programs in higher education impact teaching practices and student learning? With changes to higher education teaching such as growing class size, diverse student needs, and technology integration, faculty development programs seem more crucial than ever. However, research into the effectiveness of faculty development programs has been limited. How can we create a framework to determine the most effective and appropriate programs?
