Looking for free resources for professional development? This month’s EDUCAUSE Review has an article by U-M’s Irene Knokh that lists many resources to improve your professional skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For higher education learning professionals (trainers, instructional designers, instructional technologists, learning technology coordinators, learning management system [LMS] administrators, etc.), professional development is a frequent topic of conversation. While the coronavirus is, understandably, on everyone’s minds, professional growth should remain a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budgets are tight or nonexistent; the basic mantra has become, “Do a lot more with a lot less.” Learning professionals are left asking, “How do we find time and money for professional development?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knokh outlines where to begin, such as volunteering to complete proposal reviews and getting involved with mentoring as a mentor, a mentee, or both<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many organizations offer free resources, including EDUCAUSE and Online Learning Consortium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
