Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center Launches Online Blackboard Community for Faculty
The Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center went live with its Blackboard-based online faculty community on Monday, March 30, with nearly 200 faculty participating.
According co-directors Lori Holyfield, Julie Trivitt and Don Johnson, this is an effort to extend the center's programs to faculty members as they work from home. In addition to continued faculty development programs the Teaching and Faculty Support Center also plans to provide opportunities for faculty interaction and community through this site, with live events through Blackboard Collaborate, a faculty online discussion group, and other activities.
If you have not yet signed up to be a part of this Blackboard community, just send an email to tfsc@uark.edu and ask to be added. Once you are added, "Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center" will show up as an option under "Non-Credit Courses" when you log into Blackboard (learn.uark.edu). Just click the link to join the conversation.
