Professional Learning Opportunities with OLC
As Rutgers faculty and staff, you have access to an institutional membership with the Online Learning Consortium (OLC). One of the most valuable benefits of this membership is access to a wide range of webinars that you can attend at no cost.
These webinars help you stay current with teaching practices and offer practical, research-informed strategies you can apply directly to your courses.
OLC webinars also offer an easy way to stay connected to broader conversations in the field. Instead of working in isolation, you are able to learn alongside educators from other institutions, hear how others are approaching similar challenges, and reflect on your own practice in light of new ideas.
Some of the upcoming webinar topics include areas such as improving student engagement in online courses, designing inclusive and accessible learning experiences using AI tools, and improving course quality across programs. You also have full access to the On-Demand which includes recordings of previous webinars. All the sessions are short, focused, and built to fit into busy schedules, making it easier to engage in ongoing professional learning without a large time commitment.
Taking advantage of these webinars is a simple way to continue growing your teaching practice. And as you refine what you do, the impact is felt directly by your students through a more clear, engaging, and supportive learning environment.
To access your institutional membership, you will need to create an account using your Rutgers email address.
