Competencies for effective online instructors: A mixed method approach [PA]

• In Event: DDL - Motivation

Short Description

With the explosive growth in online education, we are in need of competencies for effective online teaching to plan support and professional development opportunities. In this study, we conduct an extant review of literature on effective online teaching practices and merge those results with themes from interviewing 10 award winning faculty members. The final product is a psychometrically sound survey that we develop and validate on a sample (N > 500) of online educators.
