A Foundational Workshop for CUNY Faculty.

Description: We invite faculty to register for a two-week, asynchronous, instructor-facilitated workshop, “Preparation for Teaching Online: A Foundational Workshop for CUNY Faculty,” developed by CUNY School of Professional Studies and offered by the Lehman’s Office of Online Education. Faculty scheduled to teach online should complete the workshop and then schedule a consultation with the Office of Online Education staff for additional support.

To better serve our students and to be in compliance with the New York State Education Department requirements for distance education offerings as well as the Interregional Guidelines for the Evaluation of Distance Education Council of Regional Accrediting Commissions by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), faculty teaching online need to complete the essential training for teaching online, a two-week online workshop "Preparation for Teaching Online: A Foundational Workshop for CUNY Faculty."
