Faculty professional development for quality online teaching

Abstract

Professional faculty development, which has always been one of the prerequisites for quality higher education, has become especially relevant in conditions of strict quarantine restrictions and the transition of traditional face-to-face university courses to online platforms. Partial or complete (albeit temporary) replacement of face-to-face learning with distant learning has exposed several problems. Both teaching and learning in an e-learning environment are different from those in the traditional classroom. So distant learning is often a true challenge to all participants of the educational process.
