Abstract | Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) at all-online universities are faced with the same challenge each year: creating a professional development curriculum that offers experienced and pedagogical support and community-building opportunities for faculty. Ideally, faculty would offer suggestions, contributions, and engagement regarding their professional development; however, CTLs are frequently met with a distinct lack of engagement from those they are tasked with helping. Using quantitative correlational methodology grounded primarily in adult learning theory, constructivist learning theory, and partially in writing across the curriculum approaches, this study examines data gathered using an anonymous survey to investigate the central research question: How can the CTL collaborate with faculty to provide engaging professional development opportunities in the areas of professional and pedagogical support while also contributing to community building? The survey was modified from a previous version conducted at the same online-only university. The survey instrument allowed for complete anonymity and consisted of closed-ended questions. The results indicated that faculty respect and value the work of the CTL and, in return, the CTL needs to prioritize communication with faculty to determine professional development needs but, overall, collaboration is welcomed and possible.
