Preparing faculty to integrate ethics into online facilitation
This qualitative case study was designed to determine the extent to which a framework for exploring ethical principles for online facilitation is integrated into an online training course for faculty preparing to teach online. Specifically, this study examined the extent to which the principles of ethical teaching are addressed in an asynchronous faculty training course where participants complete learning activities designed to promote comprehension, application, and synthesis of ethical principles for teaching. Content analysis was performed on archived discussion forum transcripts from 18 randomly selected faculty members over a 12-month period. This chapter summarizes the ethical themes that emerged through content analysis. © 2009, IGI Global
The faculty-library connection: An online workshop
With the proliferation of distance education programs, it is essential to consider methods to reach faculty who are often at a distance themselves. This paper discusses how the Libraries and School for Professional Studies Distance Learning department at Regis University collaborated to develop an online workshop in WebCT designed to raise faculty awareness of library resources and services and to train them to integrate library activities into the courses they teach.
