This hands-on workshop will explore a range of issues related to the support and development of faculty involved in online education, whether completely online or in combination with other delivery methods.  Faculty are the most valuable asset to a successful online learning program.  Understanding their needs and developing the appropriate levels of service is a critical link to a satisfied online faculty.  This session will explore specific strategies for addressing design and development needs as well as review of compensation models, support services, technical support, and workload management strategies.
