Abstract	This paper is a study of the author's experiences taking a six-week, asynchronous, online, faculty development class for educators at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Using autoethnography methods, the author details her learning and the ways her experiences support adult learning theories. Implications of this research suggest that adult learning theories should also be applied to faculty development experiences because faculty are more likely to benefit from online faculty development if they are given the opportunity to direct the course of their development to suit their own needs.
