FREMONT, CA: In recent times of uncertainty and adversity, teachers across the country have adapted courses to make learning possible. As we navigate the future of higher education, new obstacles, and opportunities will arise. Faculty and students alike should benefit from improved professional development just as instructors work to improve their courses.
We should evaluate our past and current offerings to ensure they align with our audiences and their ever-changing needs as we reimagine work and learning. In preparing instructors and learners for the road ahead, we can model best practices, explore innovative approaches, collaborate to solve problems and strive for inclusive excellence.
Professional Development: Revising, updating, and creating
the learning environment will continue to evolve. Students and instructors could navigate these obstacles by thinking through impactful solutions to potential problems. Innovative, solution-oriented technologies allow for creative teaching and learning strategies.
Exploring how technology and its features can meaningfully support evidence-based best practices as the need for quick fixes diminishes. Developing new workshops, revising existing training, or improving access to offerings are some of the ways people might change their initiatives. The professional development will be unique based on the outcomes and audience.
There may be a need to provide relevant and authentic pedagogical examples, solve teaching problems and challenges, demonstrate multiple delivery modes, even simultaneously, promote additional tools and features, and showcase accessibility and inclusivity applications.
It is possible to alter the logistics of training by switching from live webinars to asynchronous modules, adding on-demand videos and resources, or making training more interactive and hands-on. Teachers will be able to decide what changes to make based on their needs assessment, inventory, and evaluation.
Process improvements continue after content is altered: It is likely that the breadth and depth of resources needed will vary based on the modifications the team plans to make. Then, prioritizing these projects and accordingly allocating assets is necessary after determining the ideal changes.
Along with alterations to the content, there are some other considerations to take into account. Professional development can be a comprehensive process when substantial changes are made. Monitoring the progress of the project and developing a strategic plan is vital.
Continuous improvement requires time, personnel, and money. Determining how to use the available resources is significant. Developing, hosting, and sharing the content and training using the appropriate tools is needed. Websites, videoconferencing platforms, learning management systems, and recording software can all fall under this category. Taking a collaborative and data-driven approach will allow the team to make informed decisions about the future of the professional development programs, regardless of whether it is kept, added, removed, replaced, adapted, or enhance them.
