Designing a Faculty Learning Community for Course Coordinators at Kennesaw State University

Professional Development, 2025
This case study outlines the process of designing and implementing a professional development program that is inclusive of VITAL faculty within the College of Science and Mathematics at Kennesaw State University. We begin by providing background about the institution and developments that precipitated the creation of the 2022 Faculty Learning Community for course coordinators. We then offer an overview of the design team’s goals and process for designing the program, followed by a discussion of factors that the design team identified as impacting the implementation and success of the program. The case study concludes with a summary of successes and lessons learned related to the design and implementation of the program, which can be informative for other campuses engaging in similar efforts.
