Abstract | Recognizing that adjunct faculty in a distance education program may not have convenient access to campus-based training activities, a self-paced 12-week training program was developed by Nova Southeastern University (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). According to staffing by headcount, 63% of all faculty during Winter Term 1997 were part-time employees of the university. Twelve individuals in the Graduate Teacher Education Program participated in the project. At the beginning of the 12-week training session, participants received an instructional videotape which identified online training activities and a script of the videotape. Approximately two weeks into the project, participants were instructed to focus on structured laboratory exercises. Based on self-reported data, engagement in this program resulted in a 31% increase in skill with online utilities and other tools associated with the Internet. A summary of week-by-week activities is given, and two tables show the instructional video evaluation instrument results and pretest/posttest results. Recommendations are provided for improving the instructional videotape and training components. The Instructional Video Evaluation Instrument is included at the end of the document. (AEF) |
