Who Will Benefit From This Course:

  • Faculty
  • Educational Developers
“That was the most engaging video lecture series/continuing education course I have ever taken, and as a PT who is required to take a significant amount of credits annually, that’s saying something! The note handouts provided enough information that I was able to focus on the examples given by Professor Sweat, but know if I went back to the content provided later there was enough provided that I wouldn’t be lost or confused if I didn’t take notes myself. I would definitely take another course by Professor Sweat and I feel more confident now as a professor than I did even after having one semester under my belt.” - Sarah Andreucci, Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education, Bryant & Stratton College

“Thank you very much for sharing invaluable lessons with us… the content has provided me with great tools to use in my own practice in planning ‘training’ courses (for CPD) and for our Academic Induction Programme for Early Career Academics - Thank you!!!” - Matshidiso Mathibedi, Academic Developer, University of Pretoria - South Africa
