Online Teaching Professional Learning Community

The Office of Online Learning (OOL) invites you to join your online teaching colleagues at Loyola in the Online Teaching Professional Learning Community (PLC). Led by instructors and hosted by OOL, the Online Teaching PLC provides all Loyola educators with a dedicated space to share their experiences with online teaching, connect with colleagues about best practices and teaching strategies, and learn new methods for strengthening their online courses. Please note that all Loyola instructors who teach online are welcome to join, including faculty instructors (tenure-track, NTT, and adjunct), graduate students (TAs and instructors) and staff educators.

You can engage with the Online Teaching PLC in two ways: through an always-on, asynchronous community in Microsoft Teams or by way of bi-monthly synchronous meetings. Of course, we’d love to see you in both, too!

Microsoft Teams PLC space

To join the community, request access to the Microsoft Teams Online Teaching PLC. Once we receive your request, we'll add you to the team and provide some guidance for using the space.
