19. disruptive innovation does not take root through a direct attack on the existing system.
Instead, it must go around and underneath the system.
This is how disruption drives affordability, accessibility, capability, and
responsiveness.

We are here
21. 30min scheduled meetings to teach LMS
Faculty free to develop whatever with noparameters around course delivery, expectations with grading and presence in the classroom, alignment of course learning outcomes with content, etc.
No PD focused on pedagogy
Result: inconsistent student experience and overall dissatisfaction with online learning
Ugly
22. 3 week asynchronous training with an initial webinar to explain purpose and orientate faculty.
Throughout 3 weeks, only basics of LMS and demonstration of expectations around grades and presence in classroom were addressed.
35% successfully complete
Result: faculty lack pedagogical skills to differentiate for different learners and often only adhere to basic course requirements.
Bad
23. All day workshops to learn LMS with a 1hr introduction focused on purpose and basics of different learning approach.
Limited focus on pedagogy and unclear expectations around presence in classroom and grading policies.
Result: course content varied in quality and alignment to course learning outcomes, but faculty were resilient and program was sound.
More Bad
24. 2 1/2 days (first session and last session) face-face and one full day midway point.
**Optional day of LMS training bootcamp
1 Webinar early on to reconnect group and review progress
Rest of course online over a 3month timeframe
Result: teachers learn now only what it was like to be a student, but also develop, evaluate, and teach content to a variety of learners.(50% completed)
Good
