Fundamentals Overview

Teaching is a major responsibility for most faculty members. Some faculty members love this aspect of their positions, while others undertake it grudgingly. In many cases, faculty members are forced to rely on their own experience to inform their approach to teaching. Unless they have adopted teaching as an avocation and explored the subject deeply, he or she may have little knowledge or exposure to teaching and learning best practices. Teaching becomes even more of a challenge as faculty members are increasingly being asked to teach online and to continue to adopt to new technologies.
