Priorities
1. Quality Matters Course Certification – Promotes best practices in online learning by supporting faculty to achieve the highest national standards in course design. While all online and blended courses may receive QM certification, the TLC will give priority to mathematics courses.

The TLC will assist by pairing you with an Instructional Designer.

2. Faculty Learning Communities – Foster intellectual community and drive change in instructional approaches to enhance student learning through the establishment of Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs)
3. Professional Development Workshops – Develop a cadre of faculty experts at Wolfson Campus through professional development opportunities, offered in partnership with MDC’s Center for Institutional and Organizational Learning (CIOL). Please check back for future upcoming opportunities.
