This episode features Bridget Arend as she explains lessons learned when a group of ten adjunct instructors join together to develop a training course to help other adjunct faculty gain comfort and confidence with incorporating synchronous components into online courses. Bridget spearheaded the Online Teaching Ambassadors (OTA) initiative for the College of Professional Studies (formerly University College) over the fall 2020 and winter 2021 quarters. The OTA group was charged with developing a robust and comprehensive program, on a very tight timeline, to increase competence and foster enthusiasm around engaging students through synchronous online learning via Zoom across all college programs.
