abstract |
Integrating online teaching strategies within universities is now well established,
but there is little on how HE teachers experience this shift. One strand of literature
suggests that university senior management teams often assume academic staff lack
motivation to participate and resist change. This case study, from a Head of Department’s
perspective, challenges that view. Focusing on academics who chose to move to the
Open University, an online and distance learning provider, it argues that teaching
online requires different skills and presents a fundamental challenge to teacher identity.
It concludes that there is a need to both understand the academics’ perspective and
acknowledge that there is motivation within the academic community; and support, at
all institutional levels, is critical for academics making this transition. |
