Investigating Instructor Perceptions Of Online Teaching V. Traditional

As community colleges are seeing increased enrollment, and as technology advances, there has been a shift toward online education. There are some faculties, however, who are not aligned with this trend, and feeling like the online platform is inferior to traditional classroom interactions. Ten percent of Maryland's population attends community college. Maryland has 16 community colleges, with their online course offerings increasing, in addition to enrollment. In order to better understand what issues are preventing faculty from embracing online education, the current qualitative study sought to identify these issues and provide recommendations. Teachers need educating to overcome barriers that prevent them from teaching online learning in the classroom. Teachers in the study also believed there were benefits of teaching online education. In summary, the finding of the study revealed that teachers believe in the teaching of online education, but as a result of the study, it was determined that the project that will be developed will be an informal, three-day workshop series for teachers, teacher educators, teacher leaders, and administrators of colleges and universities.
