Faculty Recruitment and Training
Quality Instructors are the Key to Your Success
You can have the best courses and offer the most relevant information in an engaging format but if your instructors are not up to par your courses will not be effective. Whether you offer traditional classes, on-line courses or both, your teaching staff is the face of your school. Hiring, training and supporting the best instructors is crucial to your success. The question is: How do you find and hire the best online faculty possible?
Experience Matters in Choosing Online Instructors
We know what makes an excellent online instructor, because our consultants have been designing, building and running online programs since 1996. This has enabled us over the years to develop a network of colleagues and instructors who are ready to teach online coursesor can help us identify other eligible candidates. It’s not just program expertise that we evaluate. We want to know whether the candidate is a good fit in your school environment and if they are effective online instructors. Our experience can help you solve one of the most mission critical elements of your online distance learning program.
Teaching Online Courses Can be Daunting
For many instructors the thought of teaching an online or hybrid class can be scary and intimidating. Even the best classroom teacher may not believe she can commit the time and energy required to effectively administer an online course. Our job at EdTek is to help your teaching staff feel comfortable with the best practices and principlesof online learning and the eLearning technology.
