To create courses so good that students talk about them outside of class:
– bringing new ideas to the workplace
– excited about what they are learning
– eager to discover more
Monthly faculty meetings were conference calls sharing statistics and announcements
very
boring
Blah blahblah,
blah, blah blah
• 100% remote
• Contractors
• Varying skill level
• No formal training
• New LMS rolling out
• Off-site & decentralized faculty
• No space for ongoing discussion
• Disorganization of relevant training material
As we all know
Blah blah blah,blah, blah blah
So how do we go

Start with the Basics of ID
Define your problem
• Examine “what is”
• Define what you want
• Identify the gap
