Abstract | The purpose of this study was to better identify directions for addressing the needs of academics in institutions of higher education who teach technologically-mediated, distance-delivered courses. This single-case study aimed to examine the factor structure of a 16-item survey. The data for this study were drawn from a larger survey which examined the structures and practices that can improve technologically-mediated distance-delivered teaching practices. The participants (n=187) from this study were from a dedicated distance delivery institution in Canada. The findings revealed a four-factor model: (1) technical (Internet/Web resources); (2) social (interpersonal skills); (3) pedagogical (cognitive); and (4) managerial (teaching). The constructs identified were associated with the unique characteristics of teaching distance-delivered courses using Web and Internet-based communication tools--or "e-learning". The findings of this study should be of value to faculty developers whose institutions also offer distance-delivered e-learning courses and programs. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.) (As Provided). |
