Details about the 2023-2024 Workshops Coming in Early Fall
The 2023 ACSSJ faculty development series included responses to a survey of faculty across our institutions, focusing on perceptions of both changes in student learning and adaptations in teaching predicated on their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 300 ACSSJ faculty provided their insights in the survey, and panelists in each session responded to those insights with regard to themes related to technology and student learning, development, and support.

TUESDAY, JANURY 10
The first installment of the series featured faculty from four ACSSJ campuses discussing “technology”, broadly interpreted, and how it has impacted teaching on our campus. While some embraced synchronous instruction and other technologies for the first time in March 2020, others have used these tools successfully for years. Panelists offered their own expertise and insights into how we continue to improve student learning and engagement through the use of technology.
