Workshops and Discussions
The Faculty Development Center organizes frequent workshops and discussions for faculty on specific teaching topics and other areas of professional development. We frequently collaborate with other departments on campus to provide sessions around teaching topics of interest and to share best research-based pedagogical practices. We also hold discussions around recently-released books and journal articles related to best practices in teaching and learning.
Visit our Events page or our myUMBC group for a list of upcoming events. Please note that registration via the myUMBC group is required for all FDC events to receive the WebEx link or ensure adequate seating and lunch.
Teaching and Technology
FDC works closely with the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) to help faculty members incorporate technology into their courses, including assisting faculty in creating online or hybrid course sites using the Blackboard course tool. For more information visit our Technology at UMBC page, contact the Instructional Technology Team in DoIT, or contact the Faculty Development Center.
