Laurentian University CAE Coffee House: Developing a Physical and Virtual Faculty Learning Community  \nBettina Brockerhoff-Macdonald, Kelly Brennan, Megan Houle Laurentian University  \nLaurentian University’s Teaching and Innovation team recently created the virtual CAE Coffeehouse, an online repository of a variety offaculty development resources. The online CAE Coffeehouse supports the physical, in-person Faculty Learning Community through web-streamed workshops, drop-in hours, a teaching“book club”, individual consultation sessions, and various departmental outreach initiatives. This article presents the characteristics ofa Faculty Learning Community (FLC), as defined by Cox (2004, 2013), anda Professional Learning Community (PLC), as defined by Cherrington et al., (2018), and describes how the development of the CAE Coffeehouse builds upon these principles to extend the community into a virtual space.  \nRécemment, l’équipe Enseignement et Innovation de l’Université Laurentienne a créé, sous une forme virtuelle, la CAE Coffeehouse, un répertoire en ligne proposant un éventail de ressources en perfectionnement des corps professoraux. Cet outil en ligne vient en appui à la communauté d’apprentissage professorale – laquelle prend quant à elle une forme physique, présentielle – en offrant des ateliers en direct sur le web, des heures de rencontre sans rendez-vous, un club de lecture sur l’enseignement, des séances de consultation individuelles et différentes activités d’information départementale. Dans notre article, nous présentons les notions de communauté d’apprentissage professoral, telle que définie par Cox (2004, 2013), et de communauté d’apprentissage professionnel, telle que définie par Cherrington et al. (2018). Ensuite, nous montrons comment l’élaboration de la CAE Coffeehouse sefonde sur de tels principes pour étendre la portée de la communauté jusque dans l’univers virtuel.  \nLaurentian University is located in Canada and is a  \nprimarily undergraduate university with a robust bilingual distance education program. The Faculty Engagement Unit is part of Laurentian University’s Centre for Academic Excellence (CAE), created in 2011. The CAE Coffeehouse was launched in early 2016 when the instructional design staff from the then Centre for Continuing Education and the Faculty of Management’s Virtual Campus was combined into the CAE to provide teaching support for all faculty teaching on-campus and online. Before  \n2016 there had been no dedicated administrative unit providing pedagogical and teaching support despite having 365 full-time faculty and 475 sessional and/or clinical instructors at Laurentian University. Our most recent 2018-2023 Strategic Plan puts an emphasis on the various supports provided by the Faculty Engagement Unit, which includes the Teaching and Innovation team. Two outcomes in the“Teaching & Learning Define Us” section of the Strategic Plan specifically outline the kinds of supports to be developed and/or increased. Outcome  \n\\#12 states,“We will enhance support for professorsin their teaching by providing opportunities for faculty peer-mentoring and collaboration with colleagues who specialize in pedagogy & instructional design”. Outcome \\#13 states,“We will increase our capacity to offer flexible teaching and learning options through technology-enabled learning and  \nteaching”. The creation of both a physical and virtual CAE Coffeehouse aims to fulfill both of these outcomes.  \nThis article presents a reflection on practice and highlights how the physical CAE Coffeehouse builds on both the principles of a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) as defined by Cox (2004, 2013), a Professional Learning Community (PLC) as defined by Cherrington et al. (2018), and provides support for faculty on their journey as teachers. It also discusses how the development of the virtual CAE Coffeehouse builds upon these principles to extend the creation of a PLC into a virtual space.  \nLiterature Review  \nCox (2004)","cbCaithgMqKU2BQu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaithgMqKU2BQu","pdf",199475,"English","# Literature Review\n## Faculty Learning Community (FLC)\n## Professional Learning Community (PLC)","[{\"question\":\"What is the CAE Coffeehouse at Laurentian University?\",\"answer\":\"It is a virtual online repository of faculty development resources that extends a physical Faculty Learning Community through workshops, drop-in hours, a teaching book club, consultations, and departmental outreach initiatives.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article define a Faculty Learning Community (FLC)?\",\"answer\":\"Cox (2004) defines FLCs as a cross-disciplinary group of six to fifteen members that engages in an active, collaborative, yearlong program focused on enhancing teaching and learning, supported by frequent seminars and community-building activities.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the CAE Coffeehouse relate FLC and PLC concepts?\",\"answer\":\"The article uses Cox’s (2004, 2013) characteristics of FLCs and Cherrington et al.’s (2018) description of PLCs to explain how the physical and virtual CAE Coffeehouse initiatives extend community-building and professional learning into a virtual space.\"}]","The Laurentian University CAE Coffee House - Developing a Physical and Virtual Faculty Learning Community | PDF",1792088324]
