What is Go2Knowledge? 75+ On-Demand Professional Development Trainings6 categories Certificates of Completion Monthly Reporting Web Portal & LMS Integration Branded Marketing Materials Supplemental Materials

We needed to have ready access to professional development that was available 24/7 and of high quality. We needed a tool that could be used by both faculty and staff. We needed an affordable option that could be sustainable from regular operational funds. We needed a way to easily document and monitor the professional development activities. Our Need WVU Parkersburg

After examining a variety of products we decided to try Go2Knowledge and determine if it met our needs through a pilot phase. We notified faculty and staff of the availability of the tool and strongly encouraged their use. Notification to faculty and staff included messages, TV monitor displays, and group meetings. Efforts were made to include adjunct faculty in the professional development activities. Our Research

Our faculty and staff who have used the tool indicate the following:  The content is very relevant and easy to follow.  The modules are just the right length and are easily managed.  The certificates printed upon completion are useful for documentation and evidence needed for annual reports and promotion.

Faculty Quotes Thanks for getting us the option of the online webinars for professional development. I listened to one about classroom management on Go2Knowledge that was really helpful. I teach at 3 different colleges and Foothill is the only one that has anything like this for their instructors. -Adjunct Faculty Member I heard about Go2Knolwedge at the new faculty orientation meeting in October. Since then I have watched 13 webinars, all of which have been really well done and valuable. I also appreciate that it documents my participation so I can get professional growth credit. -First Year Tenure Track Faculty
