Professional development should be viewed as an opportunity to enhance online instructors’ strengths and improve upon their weaknesses. Doing so can save time later and help instructors manage their workload. Professional development should be completed to strengthen the instructor’s teaching practice throughout his/her career. It is important to set aside time for professional development as you, the instructor, and the students all realize the benefits.
Just like doing these modules is professional development to help us grow as educators and to help us teach in different environments in order to best serve our students.
