Structuring Long-Term Faculty Training According to Needs Exhibited by Students' Written Comments in Course Evaluations
Fulkerth, Robert
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Conference e-Learning 2014. Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (Lisbon, Portugal, Jul 15-19, 2014)
A comprehensive adjunct faculty training program is described, whose aim is to improve student perceptions of courses and programs in a private, not-for-profit MBA and Law degree granting university in San Francisco, The program is somewhat novel in that it uses (a) student input from open-ended responses on course evaluations to determine faculty to be addressed, (b) it uses in-place online learning platforms and processes to deliver training, and (c) it includes a plan for monitoring faculty improvement, through hopefully improved course evaluations, mentoring, and course championing by full time faculty members.
