http://www.ltgreenroom.org/episodes/29 The LT Green Room is a podcast for Renewal, Retooling and Conversations about Learning. It is co-hosted by Susan Manning and Dan Balzer and its show topics are often drawn from members of LearningTimes.org, a free online community of education and training professionals from across the globe. The LT Green Room gives listeners (and ourselves) an opportunity to reflect on what they're doing behind the scene that results in an effective learning experience.

Not only in my own professional development. I am very fortunate in that my position as staff, in addition to being adjunct faculty, I am encouraged by my supervisor to complete the MOL certificate offered through UIUC. I have a lot to think about in terms of career development. I see options that I was unaware of before. We have an adjunct faculty development program where a pay increase is given upon completion. Further, adjunct are encouraged to take courses at the college and receive compensation upon successful completion, provided the course adds to their ability to provide instruction. (basketweaving doesn't qualify unless you are teaching basket weaving :) But, I can now see myself teaching for other institutions as well once I have developed and taught an online or hybrid course where I am. My horizons have definitely been broadened, thank you. This has given me a lot to think about. Not only in my own professional development.

I teach a couple of adjunct courses and maintain a private law practice. I found Richard E. Lyons' book: "Success Strategies for Adjunct Faculty" very helpful. I use my virtual office on learning times to teach a blended on line course in Education Law on a nearby military base. The students are impressed with the real time nature of the program and options to speak and/or write comments. One challenge has been ensuring students have the requisite technology.
