Abstract

In the spirit of the scope of this book, this chapter highlights the potential impact collaborative faculty work can have on course design and pedagogy for online graduate students. The chapter describes the development and implementation of a faculty learning community (FLC) engaged in discussions centered on “small teaching practices” and the knowledge gleaned from the collaborative experience that will inform our practice. Emphasizing collaborative faculty engagement, our Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project has sought to strengthen our online graduate students' learning experiences and support their learning needs.
