N2 - Computing occupations increasingly dominate the workforce, but the discipline fails to attract sufficient and diverse students (i.e., women, underrepresented minorities) to meet workforce needs. To address this issue, LIGHTHOUSE projects provide computer science instructors with professional development MOOCs to recruit and retain more and diverse students in computing. We present how a professional development MOOC has been designed with relevant instructional design principles and theories to suit community college computer science instructors' learning needs. In this paper we share results from a needs assessment survey that, along with the relevant instructional theories and design principles, guided the design of an innovative diversity-focused online professional development learning environment.
