Abstract

While instructors are a critical component of the education paradigm, research into instructor perspectives on online education are sparse. The purpose of this phase of a larger study is to explore how experience demographic factors affect instructor perceptions at a Jesuit, Catholic private University in the northeast. Previous research from the larger study demonstrated that online and face-to-face instructor perspectives significantly differed on most individual and program factors. The specific demographic factors analyzed in this paper include (a) level taught, (b) number of years teaching, (c) whether the instructor had experienced an online course, and (d) self-reported technological skill level.
