Abstract
As faculty turn to online professional development workshops, research evaluating the effectiveness of such a strategy has become necessary. Using a mixed methods approach, this study aimed at exploring faculty perceptions regarding online workshops and identifying the extent to which knowledge and competencies developed from this professional learning experience transfer to faculty instruction in online and blended courses. Findings from this study offer insights into the design and delivery of online professional development programs to enhance online teaching and learning. Implications for the study are outlined.
