Technology can be frightening to some people, and instead of pushing new skills onto people, we offer services and individual help such as individual consultation, training, and technical support. In much the same way that students become excited about learning, teachers become more excited about teaching when someone is investing time and energy in them. The nature of the traditional student population is changing. They're coming into class with a completely new set of expectations of what the learning environment should be, expectations very different from the ones we grew up with. Faculty can use technology to teach students more efficiently and help them face the world's new technological demands.
Faculty members are busy people.
We have exciting approaches to solving that issue, such as reward structures like the kind I mentioned before to help compensate faculty members for their time. Also, our job is to weave resources together to make sure that technological support is always available to faculty. People need plenty of time to become comfortable with new skills, so faculty shouldn't be pressured to know everything all at once, especially considering the demands on their time. People define online education in different ways. We define online education as the process of making more information available to students.
