We need to help faculty become comfortable with changing ways of teaching, supporting them in their increased workloads and time pressures, encouraging them to reexamine how they teach, and helping them feel supported by their institutions. Overall, faculty members should focus on how they like to teach and how technology can be appropriate for their methods. Institutions vary in the way they approach faculty development. But universally, people understand the rewards and incentives of respecting faculty comfort zones. In general, when instructors see peers making improvements that enhance their teaching, they are more willing to try new methods.
People are creatures of habit.
They accept change when they see a good value in it. Institutions shouldn't take a prescriptive role when designing faculty development programs. Instead, they should take into account faculty interests and needs, and make the process open, welcoming, and comforting to people. Also, better programs strike a good balance between skills training, support, and pedagogy in addition to working closely with faculty. You travel constantly and interact with faculty members from around the country.
