Online Learning Consortium

What is it

The OLC is a collaborative community of faculty, staff, and faculty developers in higher education that offers professional development opportunities for faculty who teach. CSU's membership means that you can access webinars, guides, and other resources, as well as participate in scheduled workshops, institutes, and certificate programs.

How to get started

All faculty members at CSU can start by creating an online account. From there, you can browse programs and resources as you please. The CTRE will also be supporting registration for various programs and will promote them here on our website and in our monthly CTRE Newsletter. Stay tuned for announcements!

Faculty Resource Network at NYU 

The FRN is a professional development consortium sponsoring programs for faculty and administrators from colleges and universities across the country. Each year, CSU purchases an FRN membership that allows us to nominate faculty for the Network's Summer teaching development program at New York University, and the Winter program which takes place at a different location each year. Our membership also allows us to nominate faculty for access to NYU Libraries and other special programs offered on an ongoing basis. Contant the CTRE to find out more or express interest in one or more of these programs. Funding for the summer program is not guaranteed; however, registration, lodging, and meals are free.
