Hala,

Thank you so much for your response. You offer a variety of avenues for faculty to attain the professional development. Providing a setting where faculty members can share ideas about effective practices in a faculty learning community of practice enables faculty to share their best practices and build on others ideas, optimizing engagement. I really like how your faculty have the opportunity to decide on the topic of focus for planning the next demonstration, hands-on activity, or guest speaker. I would love to hear more about the factors that you believe contribute to the success of the faculty learning community at your large, public, research intensive University . . .

I know you were interested in hearing from others in regards to peer mentoring. Peer mentoring usually occurs informally in many departments, but, I agree, I am curious if others have established or even encouraged peer mentoring for preparing faculty to teach, design, develop, enhance, or maintain their online courses.
