“Supported by a rigorous online training program, MCC faculty developed courses with the help of instructional designers with a particular expertise in online pedagogy and course design,” said Hogan. “Our faculty assisted several institutions with the development of their online programming, including presenting at conferences all over the country, and continue to be considered the premiere instructors in the field.
