TLDE’s strategic direction and work around campus is shaped in conjunction with many groups. Our work would not be possible without the input of faculty, staff and administrative partners.
Distance Learning Faculty Advisory Board (DLFAB)
Distance Learning Faculty Advisory Board (DLFAB) is a subcommittee of the Academic Governing Council (AGC). DLFAB advises TLDE on matters including GRCC’s distance education standards, academic integrity for distance education, LMS use and updates, and instructional technologies.
Professional Development Faculty Advisory Council (PDFAC)
Professional Development Faculty Advisory Council consults with TLDE on professional development strategies, providing feedback and contributing to events such as Learning Day, Summer Teaching and Learning Institute (STLI), and the Faculty Showcase.
TLDE Faculty Liaisons
TLDE Liaisons serve a vital role in the department’s work across the college. From developing programming and training instructors to supporting adjunct faculty and conducting course quality assurance, Faculty Liaisons fulfill essential elements of TLDE’s strategic efforts.
