Faculty members educate Walden University students by effectively and proficiently using online technology and resources so that knowledge, information, feedback, and critique are imparted to and shared with students in thoughtful, carefully formulated, well‑written, and timely communications. Faculty are required to grade assignments, participate in discussions, respond to student emails, and use technology designed to enhance the learning experience for students.

This is accomplished in an environment that is respectful of the student, the faculty member, Walden University, and the discipline in which the faculty member is involved.

Teaching and mentorship assignments are contingent upon successful completion of required training.
