Plunging into FlexLearning: Faculty Training and Implementation Plan Supports Flexible Course Delivery Initiative

• In Event: TED - TEDCamp: Plunging into FlexLearning: Faculty Training and Implementation Plan Supports Flexible

Short Description

Penn State Lehigh Valley (PSULV) developed FlexLearning to provide student choice of course participation: online, in-class, or a combination. Pivotal to the FlexLearning model is a faculty training and implementation program. The four-week cohort course prepares faculty to develop a FlexLearning course. We will highlight preliminary findings of a three-year study examining student and faculty outcomes in multiple disciplines. Small and large discussions will explore the challenges and opportunities provided by FlexLearning.
