Digital Learning at USF St. Petersburg

Professional Development Services

InEd at USFSP offers a variety of professional development training to support the online
faculty of USF St. Petersburg. The framework for professional development is based on two
distinct yet inseparable categories: pedagogy and technology.

All sessions are open to full-time and adjunct faculty and staff. They are located in POY 219
unless otherwise specified. Some workshops can also be attended virtually through Microsoft TEAMS. If you have any questions, please contact Otis Wilder (owilder@usf.edu).

Pedagogy Workshops

Pedagogy workshops focus on best practices in online learning using adult learning
theory. Topics range from improving academic integrity, increasing levels of student
engagement, to creating valid assessments that align with course objectives. The workshops emphasize grounded, research-based theories to improve the students’ learning experiences and improve outcomes.

Technology Workshops

Technology workshops concentrate on the software used to enhance the delivery and
engagement of online learning. Topics include alternatives to PowerPoint, interactive polling
software, and iPad apps for education just to name a few.
