Perceptions of Barriers to Online Teaching: Does Online Training Help

Track

Research Proposal / Online Learning

Abstract

Online learning is becoming a more highly desired method for instruction in the educational setting by both students and faculty. With this shift, an evolution of faculty teaching practices must occur to better address the uniqueness of learners in the online environment (Lloyd, Byrne, & McCoy, 2012). But, are faculty ready to make the necessary adjustments to their teaching to meet this new reality? This study explores faculty’s perceived barriers to online teaching and learning and assesses whether participation in an online training program influences these perceptions.
