Distance Education and Teaching Issues: Are Teacher Training and Compensation Keeping Up with Institutional Demands?
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Distance Education and Teaching Issues: Are Teacher Training and Compensation Keeping Up with Institutional Demands? (ID: CSD1194)
Author(s):Reita Gorman (Arkansas State University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (1999)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:During March and April of 1998, a survey was distributed to 60 faculty at Arkansas State who had taught at least one course by compressed video to distance sites for the university. The purpose of this study was to determine how teachers, currently using distance education methods for course delivery, viewed the strengths and weaknesses of the method and its approach to educational instruction. Secondly, this study sought to determine whether teachers felt they had been sufficiently trained in adjusting their curriculum and instructional design to meet the needs of the distance learner. This study also investigated what methods faculty members utilized in the delivery of their courses. Finally, the affects on workload and compensation were assessed to determine whether teaching loads are still being determined in the traditional way by this university.
