Inclusive Pedagogy Online: Faculty Development and Effective Strategies

Presented by Nadia Jaramillo Cherrez, Katherine McAlvadge, Deanna Lloyd, and Jenny Meyers from Oregon State University Ecampus

This session previewed the Inclusive Teaching Online workshop at Oregon State University Ecampus and preliminary findings from its associated research study. This research project aims to identify (1) effective professional development strategies for online faculty in diversity, equity, and inclusion and, after faculty participate in an intensive workshop about research-based approaches for inclusive online teaching, (2) what strategies resonate with them most immediately after the workshop and are reported as being most effective approximately one year into implementing them in their online courses. The research also assesses how these approaches are being applied in courses requiring difficult dialogues across disciplinary contexts.
