Description
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many post-secondary institutions shifted to online
teaching to continue student learning. Faculty unfamiliar with online teaching were expected to develop and teach asynchronous courses expeditiously which some believed would affect the integrity of the modality. A phenomenological approach was used to interview eight community college and university faculty who prior to the pandemic had not taught an asynchronous online course. The study examined faculty perceptions of asynchronous online teaching prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and their perceptions of the modality after their institutions required them to do so. Results showed that faculty perceptions of asynchronous course delivery before teaching the course were based largely on their prior assumptions and experiences; their perception of the student experience during asynchronous course delivery; their preference for teaching in a traditional classroom setting; and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of teaching asynchronously. Faculty perceptions after teaching asynchronously varied. Positive perceptions were influenced by conclusions drawn from the faculty’s collective online course development and delivery experience; the perceived advantages and benefits received by their online students; and the perceived professional and personal benefits associated with teaching asynchronously. Each participant’s negative perceptions were influenced by challenges faculty encountered during their asynchronous course development and delivery experience such as students needing additional academic and technological support. |
