Your faculty reinforce your brand. Let's make them brilliant online.

Rowan Elder Productions partners with colleges, universities, and academic programs to scale faculty development for online and hybrid teaching. We don't build courses — we upskill the people who do.

Faculty readiness is the bottleneck

Online enrollment is growing, but faculty training hasn't kept pace

Online and in-person teaching excellence require related, but different, skill sets

Institutions invest in LMS tools but not in the people using them

Students notice the gap — and it affects retention, satisfaction, and reputation

Lecturer to Legend for your institution

We deploy Lecturer to Legend as a scalable faculty development program tailored to your institution's needs. Faculty learn to create studio-quality online lectures, build authentic camera presence, and use AI as a tool for streamlining workflows and tweaking content for engagement— all with equipment and tools they already have.

Outcomes

Improve online course quality across departments

Increase student engagement and retention

Strengthen your institution's reputation for teaching excellence

Provide faculty with last-mile training their institution doesn't currently deliver

Flexible partnership models

Start with a focused cohort or scale across the institution. Each partnership model is designed to help academic leaders improve the last mile of online course delivery: how faculty expertise shows up on screen.
