These seminars provide a space for collegial dialogue around best practices in online teaching. Co-presented by the Center for Distributed Learning and UCF teaching faculty, they are designed as ongoing professional development for online instructors following IDL6543. However, all members of the UCF community with an interest in online teaching are welcome to participate. To better accommodate our diverse faculty, these seminars are concise (45 minutes, including presentation and discussion), provide practical takeaways, and are recorded for later review. Customized versions can also be scheduled for departmental or college faculty meetings and other faculty gatherings.
