Full Spectrum of Support & Service
All our mentored support includes immersive learning for your faculty instructors. This means they are part of the design team for their course. Our experts have proven techniques that involve initial planning meetings, storyboarding, resource consolidation, and course mapping. Our educational philosophy supports online distributed constructivist learning - not just for the students but for the instructors who are also learners.
Educational Technology Expertise
Our top notch team has experience building digital learning environments founded on evidence-based practice. MORE
Flexible Learning
Like the students who will be learning from the online courses we help your institution design, the faculty instructors may also benefit from flexible mentoring. Instructors we partner with can learn in an online supportive community course, or in an in-person workshop. Our mentor team can also travel to your institution.
Software Applications
We do software and technology tool testing and research for you so your instructors do not need to expend valuable time learning software they may never use or which may not meet learning needs.
Cost Effective
Subscribing institutions only pay for the faculty who use our mentoring services.
Professional Learning Community
In addtion to our team of experts trained in building and using software to build your course, faculty will have access to a professional learning community of other instructors who also have experience teaching with technology.
Documented Competency
RecipPROcity can provide documentation of faculty competencies based on your institution's requirements.
By using the same evidence-based approaches social constructivist theorists developed to teach learners online, we have created the same environment for faculty to learn how to teach online. Additional features are interwoven in the learning environment, which are proven to work with adult learners (andragogy) rather than younger learners (pedagogy).
