This article shares a case study of an award-winning faculty and staff training series. During AY2018–19, the Columbia University School of Social Work (CSSW) Online Campus launched a five-session virtual Annual Online Faculty Development Series, which recently completed its fifth year. Each year, the series includes five highly interactive 2-hour synchronous sessions. The sessions serve as a forum to share CSSW and Online Campus news and updates, build community, get to know CSSW deans and directors via guest visits, demonstrate and discuss best practices for online teaching, update the community on recent technology developments, and learn from guest presentations about innovations in online education and the field of social work.
