Faculty Development

"On-Demand" Faculty Development Initiative

We are excited to announce a new faculty development initiative from the Office of Innovation and Effectiveness! This new program offers our entire campus unlimited access to over 100 on-line and on-demand professional development seminars. All you need is a screen and Wi-Fi. You can have access on computers, laptops, tablets, or cell phones. Learn from your office, on the train, or in your favorite coffee shop. You can even brush up on the latest teaching strategies on the beach. It is entirely up to you!

The site license purchased by SIUE covers the entire campus community. You have access to video, supplemental material, and additional resources. Access is now available to this online professional development resource simply by creating an account and entering SIUE's unique Authorization Code. Sign up today and help energize your higher education career.
