OLC: Unlocking Faculty Potential: The Impact of Professional Development on Course Quality and Student Success (Vendor Webinar)

The better prepared that faculty members feel about their courses, the more effective they believe them to be for their students. Faculty planning and preparation can take multiple forms, with institutional-provided professional development (PD) being one of the more common. Our research indicates that faculty professional development can be very impactful, and institutions should consider how to reach more faculty with quality professional development options.

We will review the most recent data on PD and discuss the implications with our panel. Topics include the impact of PD on faculty ratings of their materials, common reasons for high and low ratings, and administrator views. 

This research comes from the latest results on curricula adoption topics in the 2023-24 survey by Bay View Analytics. This is the tenth survey in the series of annual surveys focused on curricula adoption decisions. This survey included a national representative sample of higher education faculty and administrators.

Intended Audience: 

Centers for Teaching & Learning, Instructional Designers, Faculty and Instructors
