Faculty Training & Learning Communities

In general most teaching staff in higher education do not receive formal training in teaching. Further, the rapidly application and evolution of new teaching technologies present challenges for professors, lecturers and other teaching staff to stay abreast of developments while also pursing their professional and research responsibilities. Online professional development resources are key tools that help faculty to learn of current issues in education, helps them better respond to cultural and systemic changes to delivery formats, and refine their practice.

Our ECM solutions support professional development initiatives by enabling institutions of higher education to:

• Offer remote and on-demand training classes for teaching staff

• Provide collaborative online environments for professional networking and exchange of teaching resources

• Deliver ongoing updates and news, as well as policies and procedures from a centralized knowledge repository

• Track skills development activities and opportunities
