As online education continues to expand across varied |
|
educational sectors, so does the demand for professional |
|
development programs to guide academic teaching staff |
|
through the processes of developing their capacities to |
|
design and teach online courses. To meet these challenges |
|
at one higher education institution, a mixed methods |
|
research study was implemented to identify the |
|
professional learning needs of academic teaching staff |
|
for the purposes of developing a tailor-made professional |
|
development program. The principles of self-efficacy and |
|
threshold concepts were used to inform the design of the |
|
study. Data were systematically gathered from the |
|
participants to determine self-efficacy, concerns, and |
|
questions and experiences of academic teaching staff with |
|
online teaching. Findings revealed that academic staff |
|
held threshold concepts, skills and attitudes about |
|
online teaching. Three groups of staff were identified, |
|
all with varying forms of professional development |
|
requirements. This case study account demonstrates how an |
|
evidence-based project provided the basis for a research- |
|
informed institutional professional development program |
|
that is currently guiding academic staff through their |
|
development as online course designers and teachers. |
