Higher Education Organizational Socialization: Focusing on Relationship Building Without Sacrificing Learning During Virtual New Faculty Orientation

• In Event: OTP- Professional Development and Instructional Design Considerations (v)

Short Description

New faculty orientation is an opportunity for introduction to both campus and campus culture. Designing this socialization online, through the institution’s native learning management system, allows for flexibility and extension of learning to continue throughout the faculty’s first year and hopefully their entire tenure process. In this session, we share the updated design, development, and implementation of an online faculty orientation program, including several elements that improved upon the performance of more traditional orientation models.
