Events OnlineEd 2026 Empowering Faculty Within Constraints: A Practical Framework for High-Quality Online Teaching

Drawing on work at Dartmouth College, how learning innovation teams can support faculty to deliver high-quality teaching within real-world technical and institutional constraints.

Covering:

  • How to build faculty confidence and capacity through a "meet them where they are" approach that honors disciplinary identity and existing teaching practice.
  • Practical strategies for learning design teams to serve as creative and technical partners rather than gatekeepers.
  • How generative AI tools are expanding what is feasible for faculty, enabling richer course experiences without adding unsustainable workload.
  • Lessons learned from supporting a diverse faculty across modalities, including the relational and advisory dimensions that determine whether innovations ultimately take root.
  • A framework for maintaining teaching quality standards while preserving space for experimentation and faculty ownership.
