Audio Online Seminar • Wednesday, February 17, 2010 • 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM CST • $254
When it comes to faculty engagement, you face a “double whammy” with online adjuncts. They’re online…which means they’re not necessarily tied physically to the campus. And they’re adjuncts…operating outside many of the institutional processes and policies that define your relationship with full-time faculty.
And yet, online adjuncts are an important part of your team; their success impacts institutional success.
So what can you do to better integrate your online adjuncts into the campus community, improve communication, and keep them engaged and committed?
Get the answers in a brand-new online seminar coming February 17. In Engagement Strategies for Online Adjuncts, Dana Offerman, Ph.D., Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Excelsior College, will provide best practices and a solid strategic framework for dealing with online adjuncts.
In this 75-minute audio presentation, she’ll review:
• Trends and concerns regarding the use of online adjuncts.
• The importance of adjunct engagement to academic quality.
• The value of mandatory orientation programs, and what to include.
• How to engage adjuncts in institutional decision-making.
• How to craft policies and plans for adjunct professional development.
• How to communicate expectations regarding workload and performance.
• And much more.
Listen to a preview
If adjunct faculty are a part of your distance-education strategy, this is a presentation you really shouldn’t miss!
Bring questions …
The seminar is live and interactive, and you’re invited to submit questions to Dr. Offerman for discussion during a dedicated Q&A session. It’s a great opportunity to fine-tune your understanding of the material, get help with the issues you face on your campus, and hear what’s on the minds of other attendees from colleges and universities nationwide.
A smart (and small) investment
In these difficult economic times, minding the budget is a must. Off-campus events–with their high costs and travel expenses–may be out of the question. But Magna Online Seminars are truly affordable professional-development opportunities. The fee for this presentation is a modest $254…what’s more, it applies per site, not per person. You can invite others from your administration and faculty to attend, at absolutely no additional cost. Fill a conference room or even a lecture hall, if you like…you’re limited only by the size of your facility.
Who should attend:
• Provosts
• Chief academic officers
• Vice presidents for academic affairs
• Faculty development directors/coordinators
• Deans
• Department chairs
Learn how to bring online adjuncts into the fold, and fully integrate them into your campus community. Join us for this informative presentation February 17!
