What members say about OneHE

OneHE values CITLs as hubs to reach faculty, to work in partnership with them. We’ve created local spaces so we can foster local collaborations and local conversations. Their conversations have been really remarkable!

Tim Henkel

Assistant Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning and Director CITL

University of South Florida

Many [faculty] have reported using the trainings and activities in their classes and have thanked us for the opportunity to be in the platform.

Stephanie Ahlfeldt

Associate Provost

Concordia College

What our faculty have said about OneHE, and what I appreciate too, is they can go in for a very short amount of time and engage for a few minutes… and they can leave with something they can take back.

Megan Eberhardt-Alstot

Learning Design Lead

California State University Channel Islands

I describe [OneHE] as on demand professional development 2.0. There are other things that are available in the market but OneHE is really next generation in that the videos are so current [and] they allow for that interaction which is unique. So faculty as they move through the mini course are not only interacting with each other, but they’re actually interacting with the presenters and the experts in the field who will respond to their posts. I find that a really unique option within OneHE.

Mary Johannesen-Schmidt

Coordinator, Center for Teaching Innovation

Oakton College

It provides both the research to support the practical changes you’re about to make, as well as practical tips, which I find to be the most useful.

Kemesha Gabbidon

Assistant Professor of Psychology

University of South Florida

The feedback part of [OneHE] has been useful to me… I’ve gotten a number of interesting pedagogical suggestions over the time period and I’ve been able to implement those.
