Abstract
Faculty development (FD) is an important activity that helps faculty members of an academic institution to provide
quality education to students while fulfilling the institution’s missions and improving faculty members’ capacity
to teach. With sustainability and scalability in mind, several institutions often use web media to distribute training
materials for FD. This paper describes the design and development of a web-based FD program at the International
Christian University (ICU), Japan during the fall of 2017. It also presents a thematic analysis of the initial feedback
from the first batch of users and external reviewers. Furthermore, it reports a rough measure of the usability and
usefulness of the website as an Open Educational Resource (OER).
