This non-credit, online, self-paced course was developed by system office faculty development staff with input from Minnesota State faculty members and has received Quality Matters certification.  Although this course is required of all new unlimited, full-time college faculty, it is open to any Minnesota State college or university faculty member who wishes to complete it.

In this course, faculty will:

1. learn about their faculty roles and responsibilities and how these fit into the large context of the Minnesota State system and higher education,
2. be introduced to elements of quality course design and culturally responsive teaching, and
3. interact with other Minnesota State faculty in discussions focused on improving learning and teaching.
