CIC Conference: Take Away #1

COACHES: In a train-the-trainer fashion, people (students or staff) are trained as "specialists" on certain topics - software, databases, web tools, etc. Coaches then participate in faculty training sessions where faculty are encouraged to bring actual tasks to work on.

The lead Instructor gives a brief 10-30 minute overview at the beginning of the session and then turns the faculty over to the assistance of the Coaches. Faculty can learn at their own pace, get specific questions answered on actual tasks/projects, and do not have to follow the pace of an entire classroom.

This model is being used by the University of Iowa.
