The teacher-centered classroom dominates higher education with many instructors using this approach. Even though research shows distance education should use learning-centered principles, many instructors carry their teacher-centered approach from their traditional classrooms. Wright State University conducted a study on faculty development classes designed to encourage faculty to adopt learning-centered principles. These classes were designed with innovative strategies to give busy faculty maximum flexibility. All content for the course was delivered through an Apple iPod to enable faculty to learn-on-the-go. This session provides tools, tips, and technologies to implement faculty development courses designed to encourage faculty to adopt more learning-centered principles.
