Open Educational Resources (OER)

Currently located in the library, the Center for Faculty Development is a rich resource that coordinates faculty learning and scholarship. Find their website at Center for Faculty Development.

Metropolitan State's Instructional Designers can work with you to:

• Review learner needs, course objectives, content materials, communication/ instructional/assessment strategies, learning activities, and course alignment
• Explore new concepts and technologies to improve teaching and learning (student-centric learning, active learning, inclusion, flipped classroom, etc.)
• Discuss iterative changes, brainstorm solutions to improve active learning in courses, or pursue projects

Connect with the Faculty Mentors to:

• Discuss best practices for meeting teaching challenges (creating faculty presence, navigating student issues, etc.)
• Explore teaching and learning strategies
• Seek out peer support for practical issues related to teaching online or in person
