This newest cohort of Fellows, all of whom are university program directors, will meet in person for the first time at the Online Learning Consortium’s 22nd Annual International Conference on November 16-18, 2016 in Orlando, Florida to develop projects that support the structure and mission of the Faculty Fellows Program.

“Our intention in leading this initiative is to honor these educators and to advance their innovative work via collaboration with one another, as well as with Wiley Education Services,” said Managing Director of Wiley Education Services and Senior Vice President of Wiley, Greg Finkelstein. “By being a Faculty Fellow, we invite our members to share experiences and learn from each other. They bring the benefits of their collective experience back to their respective campuses, and facilitate the art of teaching within the broad academic community.”
Wiley Education Services began the Faculty Fellows initiative in 2013 to foster a community of practice among partners focused on innovative teaching and learning, and to guide the development of its evolving array of online, on-campus, and hybrid services and products.
