Bridging the Chasm: Cooperative Development of Faculty Development Resources

Title:Bridging the Chasm: Cooperative Development of Faculty Development Resources (ID: EDU9950)
Author(s):Benjamin Hambelton (Boise State University)
Topics:Faculty
Origin:EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:The gap between early adopters of technology and the mainstream faculty population has been described as so wide as to constitute a veritable chasm. But with support agencies understaffed, how can participation rates be increased? What kinds of strategies should be utilized to reach mainstream faculty who appear to have fundamentally different interests and needs than early adopter groups? One approach is to leverage the work of several universities to train and support faculty in their use of technology. This is a summary of the EDUCAUSE '99 session that described a four-institution project aimed at collaborative development of faculty development resources. Working together, a workshop curriculum was designed, guides to effective practices were developed, best practice strategies in faculty development were examined, and new services were initiated to enable each campus to cross the chasm.
