Faculty writing retreats offered in virtual format
Faculty writing retreats will help you meet your writing goals for the year. Begin new articles, revise and resubmit, polish your book proposal, or complete your last edits.
The writing retreats remaining for the academic year (through May 19 date) will be held virtually with Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. A decision regarding the format of future retreats will be made as the situation warrants. This event is proudly sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
You will be contacted prior to the event and given a link to participate.

Two Week Virtual Online Boot Camp
The Online Course Development Boot Camp is now offered virtually! You will have the opportunity to participate in the Boot Camp through an online experience much like students do when taking an online class. The Boot Camp will include:
- Best practices related to online courses and teaching.
- Technology tools that are used in online teaching (lecture capture, test proctoring tools, and others).
- How to translate learning activities to the online classroom and create opportunities for student collaboration and engagement.
- Legal and ethical issues associated with online teaching such as copyright, accessibility, and academic integrity.
The Boot Camp is an immersive-style experience providing you hands-on training and a structured process for developing an online course. Throughout the two-week time frame, you will participate both synchronous and asynchronously to create an online course. You will receive feedback and support from an instructional designer throughout the entire process.
