Abstract
Creating Community Part II: An Extended View of Faculty Collaboration, Engagement, and Innovative Solutions is the sequel to Purdue Global Village 2019 where presenters introduced the value and foundational practice of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). PLCs have been a proven strategy for fostering collaboration, expanding scholarship, and enhancing instructor efficacy (Bettersby & Verdi, 2015). This presentation will explore the established benchmarks that were provided in the 2019 PLC presentation and show an evidence-based extended view of ongoing practices in action. Presenters will share ongoing objectives and highlight successful strategies from their yearlong, multi-channeled PLC approach. They will provide pragmatic examples of how to implement these successful strategies and why they are important to faculty development, persistence, and efficiency. Presenters will also emphasize how PLCs enrich learning opportunities and (Dufour, 2004) and how these opportunities have propagated scholarship efforts, cultivated faculty connections, and improved overall online instruction.
