Rio Salado College's FaST (Faculty Support Team) members are experienced Distance Learning adjunct faculty who provide proactive support to Rio distance learning instructors. The team offers training to adjunct faculty in distance learning methodology. They also make reach-out phone calls to new adjunct faculty and serve as liaisons between students and adjunct faculty. Their work has resulted in an on-line tracking system, which allows the college to become aware of trends, both positive and negative and this information has led to system improvements.
EMCC Blackboard Training
Nineteen faculty are taking a CIS credit course on the use of Blackboard's CourseInfo taught by Roger Yohe. While the class focuses on technical issues, Roger and his "students" also examine teaching and learning strategies as well as instructional design techniques.
