All of our workshops present and model engaging learner-centered educational practices, and participants leave with effective new strategies they can implement immediately. These strategies empower students to become active, responsible learners, improving student academic success and retention. If you are looking for a professional development workshop that will make a difference, look no further.

Since 1996, more than 50,000 college and university educators have attended On Course Professional development events. Check out our many client colleges and universities.

The desired outcome of these events is greater student engagement, improved academic success, and increased retention (See supporting DATA). These highly interactive workshops are ideal for instructors in all disciplines, student services personnel who work directly with students, and administrators charged with academic programming and retention. And, of course, they are perfect for educators who teach or coordinate student success or first-year experience courses. On Course professional development workshops are designed for up to 50 participants.
