[VPAAEtal] Measuring the effectiveness of professional development in online instruction

[Academic Affairs]

I am writing to you to request your participation in a brief survey. This survey is a newly developed instrument which, it is hoped, may help to measure the stage of transformative learning as it relates to your experience with online instruction. Your responses to this survey will be used to check the validity and reliability of the instrument. This study seeks to relate the stages of transformative learning to faculty perceptions and application of best practices to online learning. Can TLT constructs be used to identify potential barriers in faculty development and delivery of online instruction? How does the stage of transformative learning of online faculty relate to their perceptions about online learning and their application of best practices? Is there a correlation between stage of transformative learning and the amount of experience with online instruction a faculty member has?

Before agreeing to participate in this research study, it is important that you read and understand the following explanation of the purpose, benefits and risks of the study and how it will be conducted.
