Multiple approaches to faculty development:How to play the game with the cards you’ve been dealt

This paper considers three common approaches, or faculty development models, depending on teaching delivery (face-to-face, hybrid, and distance delivery). It also describes the support strategies that succeed with these models. The paper proposes faculty development occurs in a sequence from face-to-face support to distance delivery. The paper develops these models based on three variables: faculty expertise, the timeplace dimension, and the Faculty/Designer ratio. Finally the article describes support strategies to meet the needs of varying Faculty/Designer scenarios.
