  Developing Faculty Mentors: The Low-Stress Option to Faculty Training

  Presented at FDLA conference

  09/2016 and USC at Aiken Distance Learning Week

  11/10\nDeveloping faculty mentors modeling best practices for online and blended courses is an excellent resource for new and established faculty. Faculty mentors provide a long-term training strategy that is both cost-effective and user-friendly. Faculty are often more receptive to fellow faculty suggestions for course revisions providing collaboration opportunities and development of future training modules based on frequent concerns and trends. Faculty mentors have the additional benefit of ongoing professional development

  interdepartmental interaction

  and are often included in the planning and training for early adopters of newly adopted technology at the institution. In addition to the training opportunities

  faculty mentors embedded in various departments trained in effective universal design principals

  enable an institution to monitor legacy courses for accessibility and alignment of assessments and objectives effectively.
