can be a training goal • Consider institutional
goals• Consider the student
perspective
Our Minimum:
• Syllabus • Active Gradebook

4. Create training using 80/20 rule

By covering the most common 20% of topics,
80% of faculty questions will be answered
Often, 80% of outcomes can be attributed to 20% of causes

5. Minimize 1on1 Training
This is the most essential element to managing implementation with limited resources
![Page 15: Tech Implementation with Limited Resources: How One Small School Hit the Ground Running](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c81012bb61ebcc1c8b45f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
5. Minimize 1on1 Training
1. Offer frequent training, tiered F2F workshops
2. Plan in-depth workshops and advertise upcoming schedule
3. Offer only 1 session of online training per topic
4. Suggest faculty attend an appropriate workshop
5. Answer questions through email or over the phone rather than scheduling a meeting
