Development of an online teaching-focused professional development program for junior teaching staff

I contributed learning design expertise to co-author the Development of an online teaching-focused professional development program for junior teaching staff paper delivered to the 9th Research in Engineering Education Symposium (REES 2021) and 32nd Australasian Association for Engineering Education Conference (REES AAEE 2021) at The University of Western Australia.

The paper describes our work implementing a new professional development program for junior teaching staff during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic lockdowns and the shift to online teaching. The program aimed to equip them with information on best practice in online teaching as well as with an awareness of the resources available to support them.

The paper was presented under the Capability Development conference theme according to the REES AAEE Conference Program 2021 (Workshop Session 15C: Who (capability development)).

The contribution of our research has also been recognised in other publications:
