Launched in March 2020, UOG’s Online Teaching Resources Team developed the program to help faculty gain new skills and professionalize their online classrooms during the pandemic. The OTR team ­— led by Director Andrea Sant, Course Development Specialist Merissa Bunton, and Instructional Design Coach Dean Olah — received a Triton Team Award in December for the program’s success.
