Faculty Support and Training

Can your institution scale to meet increased enrollments without sacrificing quality?

Support and Training
A key element in a rewarding faculty and student experience is a well-trained and supported faculty.  Because online learning occurs differently, because online classrooms are so different than those in the face-to-face environment, and because the pedagogical tools differ, support and training are the keys to bringing out improved academic outcomes.  And, if faculty are enjoying the experience and are confident in the administration of the classroom, students will also enjoy the experience and perform well.  Compass spends considerable time training faculty for their online experience.  Compass also supports that experience in many ways once the class starts, from providing helpdesk services to providing an in-class retention specialist to the smoothing out of a plethora of logistical details.  Faculty feel confident and can focus on what really matters, their students’ learning experience.

Recruiting
Not every institution needs this service, but it can be a daunting task to find, qualify, and engage faculty or support staff for a growing program. Many of our partners’ programs have grown exponentially in short periods of time. To assist with staffing, Compass can help you recruit qualified adjunct faculty and support staff. Using the qualification standards that your faculty provide, we find a pool of faculty from which you can select and appoint.
