Meet the instructor

Dr. William McCumber

Dr. McCumber has been coaching and teaching for 40 years. He is a full professor of finance with research interests primarily in complex financial networks. He teaches online and in person at the PhD, graduate, and undergraduate levels. He takes MBA students around the globe on consulting projects, and coaches undergraduate students in the Student Managed Investment Fund. 

If he had his druthers, he would be teaching Chaucer instead of agency theory, but is exquisitely unqualified to do so.

This course has been incredibly beneficial for my professional development. Amazing lectures by an outstanding professor who makes this so much fun to learn and apply. Thank you!

Our motto is

#EmpowerProfessors | #EngageStudents | #RealInfluencers | #BeLegend

Be your true self in the classroom again. Virtual doesn't mean soulless.

Real ROI on professional development investment

Reusable lectures and workflows

Create once, use repeatedly. Course creation times drop significantly with proper tools, workflow, and of course, experience. 

Higher retention, lower churn

Faculty development in effective online teaching increases instructor self‑efficacy and improves students’ reported learning experience, directly improving teaching evaluations, tenure dossiers, and student retention.

Career outcomes

Digital pedagogy is now considered a core competency; Legend training aligns faculty competencies with institutional strategy and keeps you competitive in internal and external job markets.

Future-proof. | Elevate. | Protect. | Lead.

New ADA rules now require universities to make all digital course content—websites, LMS pages, videos, slides, and PDFs—accessible by April 2026, yet do not have the training, time, and tools to do this quickly or well. Rowan Elder Productions turns that pressure into an advantage by giving professors a simple, professor‑designed workflow to create professional, ADA‑ready online lectures using the equipment they already have. If you need to protect your institution, support your students, and strengthen your own teaching portfolios, this is the last-mile training that will get you there. 

Time to ADA Compliance:

Authenticity is the new credibility.

Become LEGEND.
