Broward Community College has a rich community of faculty who bring expertise in e-learning "best practices". These instructors represent what makes e-learning an engaging and dynamic platform for teaching and learning. We believe that the best way for faculty to get started with e-learning or to expand their use of e-learning is to see what their colleagues are doing. This provides an opportunity to assess the merits of different uses of educational technology and to learn from the successes and failures of others.

This site will give you just a peek into how these innovative instructors integrate a variety of applications into e-learning using WebCT. Please contact the instructors directly if you are interested in learning more about their approaches. And congratulations to our showcased faculty!
