Abstract
We will share examples of recent faculty development efforts and current trends. What motivates faculty to participate in development seminars and workshops? How does institutional commitment affect faculty motivation for attending development programs? Takeaways include a checklist for designing effective faculty development programs and input from participants in workshop group activities.
Participants will engage in group activities and discussion that generates ideas on how to provide flexible technology development programs that faculty will attend.
Objectives:
Discover what other institutions are doing to meet faculty technology development needs.
Identify common barriers to faculty participation.
Brainstorm how to overcome barriers and increase faculty satisfaction.
