Benefits of Faculty Learning Communities
Kristen Vu, Assistant Professor of Diagnostic & Treatment Sciences
"We have a great support system..."
"The sharing of knowledge, tips and suggestions has been valuable to me as I continue to improve my online/hybrid instruction methods and organization of my online content."
"I always learn something new that can be applied to all my classes, whether they are taught in the traditional format or the hybrid format."
"I enjoy attending to keep up to date in the latest best practices in online/hybrid teaching and in knowing what my colleagues across the university are doing in their online teaching."
