Faculty Perceptions of Using Synchronous Video-Based Communication Technology

• In Event: Attending to Design Issues in Online Courses

Abstract

Online learning has traditionally relied on asynchronous text-based communication. In fact, many online educators have been against using synchronous video-based communication in online courses. The COVID-19 pandemic, though, has provided many faculty experience using synchronous video-based communication. Questions remain though how this experience will shape how faculty teach in the future. In this session, we will present the results of a mixed method inquiry into faculty experiences using synchronous video-based communication.
