The purpose of this faculty learning community is to help faculty take stock of what inspires them about teaching and develop concrete ways to pursue those practices in the online environment. The community is designed for faculty to reflect upon their current pedagogy through analysis and discussion of four key questions. The work of the community is not prescriptive; the community is not designed to further an “ideal type.” Instead, faculty pursue in a focused way what motivates them about teaching and apply those qualities to their online teaching lives. Individual participants choose the extent to which they use the knowledge gained to modify or reframe their pedagogy.
