Faculty Learning Communities
Whether you’ve been teaching online or hybrid courses for several years, or just getting ready to start your first semester teaching hybrid or online, all levels of expertise are welcome to join our “Online and Hybrid Faculty Learning Communities.” We hope these learning communities will provide a venue for faculty-led dialogue and sharing collective expertise regarding online/hybrid instruction at GVSU.

Benefits of Faculty Learning Communities
Kristen Vu, Assistant Professor of Diagnostic & Treatment Sciences
"We have a great support system..."
"The sharing of knowledge, tips and suggestions has been valuable to me as I continue to improve my online/hybrid instruction methods and organization of my online content."
"I always learn something new that can be applied to all my classes, whether they are taught in the traditional format or the hybrid format."
"I enjoy attending to keep up to date in the latest best practices in online/hybrid teaching and in knowing what my colleagues across the university are doing in their online teaching."
