The faculty eLearning Office is not only the office of the eLearning Director, it is a space that can be used by faculty for sharing, collaborating, training, and learning. In spring 2014 a title and logo were created for this space: The Faculty Learning Express. It is a place where faculty can come for hands-on Canvas trainings, various how-to handouts on methodologies and other aspects of teaching. By keeping yourself connected to FLEX, you are keeping yourself connected to educators from all disciplines.

Everyone welcome to contribute. Ideas and to volunteer to monitor a program, contact Liz at lfalconer@rtc.edu.
