Mount Saint Mary College implemented new policies requiring faculty training for teaching online courses. This included a blended online professional development course called "Teaching and Learning Online" over 4 weeks. The course provided intensive, practical training to help faculty redesign their online courses, including instructional design, interactions, assessments, and content development. It included readings, discussions, and a course design project. While some issues around workload and compensation remained, initial feedback on the training course was positive and led to improvements in online course quality.
