Faculty Training

Arizona Western College provides an ongoing orientation and training program with emphasis on the pedagogical/andragogical changes that occur when information technologies are utilized.

Workshops are open to all AWC faculty and staff and are offered to assist faculty and staff who are interested in using Blackboard as a component to a face-to-face course, a component to an ITN course, or who would like to use a Web component in their work. AWC faculty who will be teaching online courses are welcome to participate in these workshops. Download 2012 Faculty & Staff Workshops Brochure
