We have conducted a two-week-long virtual faculty development workshop from August 2 to August 12, 2021. Theworkshop was conducted from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm during August 2 to August 5 and from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pmsynchronously via Zoom. In addition, participants met in groups for about 1 to 2 hours asynchronously every day during the workshop. The faculty was introduced to foundational concepts of PDC as well as tools and libraries for writing parallel programs. The participants were engaged in plugged and unplugged hands-on activities. They were introduced to hands-on modules that can be used to introduce PDC in early computing classes. PI Ghafoor was the lead in organizing the workshop.
