Instructional Innovation Committee (IIC)
The Online Learning unit leads the Instructional Innovation Committee (IIC), a vibrant community of practice for faculty and staff involved in leading distance/hybrid education and other innovative pedagogical efforts. The IIC aims to enhance the overall quality of these types of educational offerings at GW and serves as a sustainable centralized resource for career distance ed and other online learning professionals to connect, collaborate, and support fellow GW experts.
Highlights of the IIC include:
