Our school of nursing is so underfunded we cannot attend all the conferences we would like. Webinars are very useful, especially the 90 minute programs. However many of the programs seem to go very quickly. We’d prefer a longer explanation of some items before getting into the details of the training. PD could be improved by pooling our money together so we can bring in a faculty delvelopment consultant or someone tha can share the ins and out of good teaching skills. Our center for teaching and learning is full of CDs which we like. Many of our faculty use this center to watch programs that are so inspirational. If we could get a new CD player, that would ideal. Thanks for all you do. I’m sure your products are good but I’m concerned with all the issues in your area and wonder if that might be one of the more significant issues worth pursuing.
