Testimonials
"I am impressed by the way Scenarios engages both adjunct and full-time faculty in the central issues of practice as a teacher. These courses have been especially helpful in engaging faculty in learning outcomes and assessment work."

"As an adjunct, I find myself working in a vacuum: I teach my classes and go home. This (NISOD Learning Scenarios) gave me an opportunity to talk with my peers, find out their viewpoints on a variety of issues, and find out that my opinions were similar to others. I learned so much through this course. It seemed as though the issues I was dealing with or questions I was having in class corresponded directly with the class's weekly themes. I have already incorporated a few learning activities and it instantly improved interaction and communication."

"I am not sure where to start! First this was my first online experience and quite honestly I was a nervous wreck. I have certainly overcome that fear. From changes to my syllabus, classroom teaching style, understanding more about learning styles, and importance of student engagement, actually I have learned and grown big time from this scenario. All participants were great. Thank you."

"Wow, what can I say? I have learned a lot from this course, which surprises me, since I have been at this for nearly 20 years and thought I had a pretty good understanding of my teaching style and how to reach students.

This was my first experience in this type of learning environment and I think that this is a really good tool for training new faculty. The resources had a lot of valuable information and tools for us to utilize. I wish I had gone through this before I taught my first class. It would have spared my some of that 'hard-knock learning'."
