Webinar | Online Mentoring for Faculty and Students: Building a Community of Support
February 22, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
This session will provide insights into mentoring for faculty and students in online education programs, or for those considering a more traditional mentoring program delivered predominantly online.

This presentation is largely based on the presenters’ book “Best Practices for Mentoring in Online Programs: Supporting Faculty and Students in Higher Education (2022)” as part of Routledge’s Best Practices in Online Teaching and Learning series.
