Abstract

This study examined instructor perception of helpfulness of 45 inclusive and equitable online teaching strategies developed using the IEOT framework. Based on the 478 instructor survey responses, descriptive statistics showed that the instructors rated the 45 items between somewhat helpful and helpful. Instructor perception of IEOT strategies was higher for the course design subscale for instructors who taught online asynchronous than online synchronous; know your learner subscale for instructors who taught graduate students than those who taught undergraduate students; and overall for those who attended training for online teaching compared to those who had not. The study has implications for online instructors, instructional designers, and administrators who provide support to integrate these strategies effectively.
