摘要

Now that most of the innovators and early adopters of online instruction are comfortably teaching online, many institutions are facing challenges as they prepare the next wave of online instructors. This research study examines how faculty in this 鈥渘ext wave鈥?(the majority of adopters) differ from the innovators and early adopters of online instruction. A specific online course development program is described and the experiences of the 鈥渕ajority鈥?in the program are examined in relation to the experiences of previous participants (the innovators and early adopters).
