About POT

Putting the “prof” back in professional development….Founded in 2005, the Program for Online Teaching (POT) is a volunteer faculty professional development group. Faculty propose, lead, and attend flex activities relating to our core objective of excellence in online education. As a community of practice, we mentor colleagues, share resources and ideas, and host collaborative projects and classes. Involvement is open to interested faculty at all academic institutions.

How can you become involved?

If you are at MiraCosta College:

1) propose and present a flex workshop that fits with POT.
2) participate in a POT open online class or experience.
3) engage in dialogue about online teaching in the POT Facebook group.
4) Attend POT workshops through flex
5) Help us collect good resources by joining the MCC POT Diigo group: http://groups.diigo.com/group/mccpot

If you are at another college or location:

1) feel free to make use of any resources at our website
