Description
ABSTRACT Higher education is experiencing a major paradigm shift from the traditional lecture/face-to-face learning environment to online/distance learning. Studies showing student, faculty, administrative, and the institution's adjustments, concerns and attitudes are now becoming available. However, this information is changing very rapidly, as the implementation of new distance learning delivery modes and methods become available. This study focuses on the difference in attitudes and concerns of faculty determined by their age, gender, tenure, PC literacy and whether they have taught an online class previously. Results indicated that the greatest disparity in faculty perceptions of online teaching were apparent between those with and without online teaching experience. Other factors, such as age, gender, tenure, and computer literacy, played little or no role in perceptual differences.
