Abstract: This paper presents a four-year result of implementing a faculty certification course, which prepares faculty for teaching online. Feedback from 23 sessions from 2013 to 2016 was analyzed. The finding reveals that faculty prefer hands-on experience with the learning management system, scenarios for handling student issues, and a knowledge sharing community. Recommendations for course revisions are provided.
