About POT

Putting the “prof” back in professional development….Founded in 2005, the Program for Online Teaching (POT) is a volunteer faculty professional development group. Faculty propose, lead, and attend flex activitities relating to our core objective of excellence in online education. As a community of practice, we mentor colleagues, share resources and ideas, and offer a certificate of online instruction. Involvement is open to interested faculty at all academic institutions.

How can you become involved?

1) propose and present a flex workshop that fits with POT.
2) pursue a Certificate.
3) engage in dialogue about online teaching by responding to certificate participant posts on Pedagogy First!.
4) Attend POT workshops through flex
5) Help us collect good resources by joining the MCC POT Diigo group: http://groups.diigo.com/group/mccpot
