What we found The Challenge

• Faculty and TAs need knowledge and motivation to
  provide effective instruction and support to
  online students.
• Faculty and TAs are challenged to provide
• Effective responses to problems online students
  have.
• Meaningful connections that support online
  students learning.

The Challenge from Four
Different Perspectives
Its difficult to connect with remotely
located Industry Students
Industry Students are demanding and unqualified
We must influence faculty/TAs to provide
quality learning experiences
I want high-quality content in a convenient
format

Identified Goals for the New
Faculty TA Orientation

• Increase empathy for Industry students.
• Understand how to connect with Industry students
  in distributed learning environments.
• Provide useful models for informing the future
  online practices of Faculty and TAs.
• Motivate Faculty and TAs to take on new teaching
  and learning practices.
