Selected Courses and Meeting Schedule

Six OneHE courses have been selected for their particular relevance to new faculty. Participants will take these bite-sized courses on their own time and then we will come together discuss them with colleagues in a series of one-hour Zoom sessions starting in late September; please see the schedule below. Each session will be led by a CTE facilitator.

To obtain your free license to OneHE, you simply commit to attending at least three of the six sessions, coming prepared to discuss the OneHE courses and how to apply the teaching practices to your own contexts. Of course, you are welcome to engage with the full catalog of OneHE courses and resources.
