Profesional developent and individual development are very important to mantain high level standards of teching in the online environment. The best combination to have is professional experience and teaching experaince. This will be very enhanced if the needed credentials are there as well. 

Monitoring online instruction is very important to achieve high level performance from instructors. Focusing on positive behaviors and providing on time feedback is important to make any corrective actions effectively. 

The onborboarding process for a new online faculty is key from setting up expectations, to learn established protocols and procedures, and how tow to use the online plattform. All these need to be done with several meetings and clear documentation. 

Hiring uptodate faculty is not always the ideal situation. We will be very lucky if we can have instructors with pasision to teach their knowledge, who know how to teach, and who  are currently working in their industry. When I find those individulas, I know I hit the jackpot. That's the faculty we need.
