Showcase: High 5 for Online Instruction

A group of students working together

Spring Showcase!

One of the coolest things about Bellevue College faculty is how dedicated we are to improving our instructional effectiveness. We know that our success translates to our students’ success. As much as we may like to participate in every single workshop, learning community, teaching square, and book club on campus, it is simply not possible. So, in this new series, we’re bringing the learning highlights to you!  Faculty who have engaged in professional learning through the Faculty Commons over the past year will be presenting some key takeaways, how they’re implementing the learning, and ways their teaching and students’ learning have been impacted by the changes to their instruction. 


High 5 for Online Instruction

Did you know about 430 faculty started the OETA certification this year? As of March, about 250 faculty have completed the OETA:05- High 5 for Online Instruction course. We have truly enjoyed working with all of you in this course, and we appreciate your feedback so we can make revisions based on what we hear and see. We know that engaging in professional development doesn’t mean much if we don’t make positive changes based on our learning.  Thank you to the faculty who are showcasing some of the changes they’ve made based on High 5. Come get inspired!

  • Jen Anderson, Communication Studies
  • Tonya Estes, Adult Basic Education
