Overview

The Promoting Instructional Excellence (PIE) Program develops faculty expertise in online instruction.

Promoting Instructional Excellence consists of two main parts:  self-paced independent work completing modules and designing activities/assessments and synchronous sessions with your colleagues. Throughout the program, CELTT staff are available to provide one-on-one consultations to assist with course design.
