520 $a The study provides a number of specific recommendations for academic leaders who wish to increase faculty participation in distance education programs.
520 $a College-level distance education programs are growing rapidly, but sustainable growth in these programs will require an increase in faculty participation in distance teaching, as well as the eventual acceptance of distance education as one of the core activities of higher education organizations.
520 $a Academic leaders such as college presidents, deans, and department chairs are currently employing a variety of strategies aimed at encouraging greater faculty participation in distance education, but a limited amount of study in this area has failed to produce an agreed upon theoretical framework to guide the development or evaluation of these strategies.
520 $a The problem focus of this study is the ongoing need for empirical examination of current strategies for encouraging faculty participation in distance education, to assess the effectiveness of these strategies, and to contribute to the development of improved strategies.
520 $a This study examines growth in faculty participation in Internet-based distance teaching at 31 state-supported colleges and universities over a two-year period (1998–2000), and compares the variety and perceived effectiveness of the institutional strategies used to encourage participation. The institutions selected for this study are members of the State University of New York (SUNY) Learning Network distance education consortium. The major findings from this study suggest that: (1) Faculty who have taught Internet-based distance education courses believe that the technologies and pedagogies used are conducive to rapid adoption and diffusion of this academic innovation. (2) Faculty who have taught Internet-based courses believe that the use of planned change strategies is important for encouraging faculty participation, but academic leaders have generally failed to use these strategies effectively. (3) Faculty participation in distance education increases at a faster rate at institutions where academic leaders make more effective use of planned change strategies. (4) Faculty participation in distance teaching is encouraged more at community colleges than it is at four-year institutions. (5) Consortium membership is an effective strategy for encouraging faculty participation in distance education.
