- Title
From Survive to Thrive: Using Professional Development to Advance Online Teaching.
- Authors

- Abstract
In Spring 2020, Covid-19 forced educational institutions to quickly pivot courses to an online format, leaving many schools unprepared to support students or faculty. The Professional Development Framework for Online Teaching was a suitable guide for the development of training and support for faculty moving to online teaching; key elements include teaching, community and organization. Using this framework, a faculty team from a College of Public Health worked to develop an interactive online teaching training, including: activities to practice skills; assessments to demonstrate competency; community support groups organized by type of class; and organizational support including a standardized syllabus, Canvas template, and support from technology specialists. This case study shows promise for a systematic approach to ongoing faculty development outside of moments of crisis. Future work includes the development of parallel online training for students, more opportunities for assessment, and recognition of highquality online teaching with meaningful use of technology.
