Soaring with Online
Learning (Soaring) is a faculty development
program to prepare faculty to develop and
deliver courses in a fully online or hybrid

the content and delivering an online or hybrid
course participate in the full six week program
and receive a stipend of $2500.
The second program (four weeks) are for faculty
who will be managing and delivering an
already developed online/hybrid course
and receive a stipend of $1000. Each
Soaring session is limited to a maximum of 13
participants:

including readings, discussions, assignments and
assessments. The environment allows the faculty
member to experience what it is like to be an
online or hybrid “student”. In addition, faculty
members are supported in the development or
