Professional Development
Teaching, learning, and compliance with outcomes data and reporting — in one platform.
What You Can Do
Teaching and Learning and Compliance With Outcomes Data and Reporting
The Professional Development Module offers features to share professional development content with faculty to track, measure, and report on outcomes. Proprietary content can be uploaded and shared, or APL nextED-provided content can be offered to users. Institutional and faculty users have progress-status views, and outcomes data automatically tracks to the faculty profile and activity.

Problem
Outcomes data is missing from most PD programs
Professional Development content is often administered, but institutions have few resources for tracking and measuring outcomes.
Solution
PD that integrates with evaluations and faculty profiles
APL's Professional Development module gives institutions a way to assign, track, and report on faculty's professional development. The module integrates with the evaluation workflow, allowing institutions to track faculty's performance on specific metrics and assign PD in categories where performance is lacking.
Use the Professional Development Module To
- Assign proprietary or APL's vendor professional development content to faculty
- Track faculty's progress toward completion
- Report on professional development outcomes including micro-credentials and certifications earned
Partnership
Connect with Education Experts
APL offers a wide range of resources to support faculty development through our partnership with Magna Publications — certifications, micro-credentials, and courses available directly within the Professional Development module. Each course is developed to help faculty expand their practice and become more successful in their role. Certification paths are available for new faculty, experienced faculty, and academic leadership.
Sample topics
- How can I inspire creative confidence in the classroom?
- What activities and assignments promote critical thinking?
- How can I add interactivity to my online content?
- How can I reduce student apathy and increase motivation?
- How can I create meaningful assignments for my students?
- How can I structure a flipped lesson?
How it works
Assign Magna courses to faculty directly from the Professional Development module. Track completion, record certifications earned, and tie outcomes back to individual faculty activity reports — all without leaving APL nextED.
