Four faculty members from Southern State Community College have jumped at the chance to improve their online teaching skills by participating in a 25-week Effective Online Teaching Practices course offered in collaboration with the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE).
Southern State Community College participants include: Dr. Gayle Mackay, professor, business; Kelly Schradin, associate professor, biology; Russ Clark, assistant professor, physics; and Cathy McClain, assistant professor, human and social services.
“This is a tremendous professional development opportunity delivered at just the right time,” said Southern State Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Nicole Roades. “Nearly a year ago, the pandemic thrust all of education into a new way of delivering courses. Today, not much has changed except that we are recognizing expansion of distance learning as the new normal. As such, the Southern State faculty aim to deliver the same high quality experiences as they did before the pandemic and this kind of training helps us meet those goals.”
