NC-NET Moodle

Designed for new faculty with minimal background in education theory and application.  Each module of the Start Teaching Today series provides a guided exploration of resources on topics important to teaching at the college level; helpful links containing examples and implementation tips, expert advice, journal articles, and supporting evidence of best teaching practices.  Opportunities for reflection and colleague interaction will be included through discussion board prompts.

How Can I Enrich the Learning Experience? Making “A-ha!” Happen
Student engagement with the concepts they are learning provides more “a-ha!” moments (and content retention) than memorization plus testing or other low-engagement teaching methods.  This module introduces a range of student engagement strategies.

Completers will earn a badge of completion.

Designed for new faculty with minimal background in education theory and application, adjunct instructors are encouraged to take part in this exploratory and reflective experience designed around the resources offered in the NC-NET’s Adjunct Faculty Roadmap.  The three-week “Jumpstart” provides a guided exploration of the Roadmap’s collection of resources on topics important to teaching at the college level, including helpful links containing examples and implementation tips, expert advice, journal articles, and supporting evidence of best teaching practices.  Opportunities for reflection and colleague interaction will be included through a weekly discussion board prompt.

This is a three week long, scheduled, modular professional development opportunity; completers will earn a certificate.
