Thisgrading approach generates a feedback mechanism which encourages students to monitor theirlearning [26]. As adults value their ability to be self-directed, iterative grading plays to thisstrength of the adult learner which, in turn, supports their feelings of motivation.Care was taken to be respectful of the demands on the adult learners’ schedule when designingthis program. Adults’ schedules are difficult to manage with both personal and professionaldemands, and often, adults do not feel that they can succeed in a program because of thedemands on their time [25].

When participants did note that they had attended off-campustraining, the training took the form of printed materials, conferences, and web-based training.While participants from 4-year institutions selected attending conference and reviewing printedmaterials most often, participants from 2-year institutions selected web-based training. Thiscould be because of the high cost associated with conference attendance and the low cost of web-based training,14 suggesting that 4-year institutions may have more flexibility in utilizing fundingfor training purposes.The listing of mentorship as a training mechanism for online teaching

research study, as the goal of the Teaching Circle is to support individual instructors as they improve the experience and learning of students.• Questions 3, 15, and 23 focus on how much students feel that they learned in class, and that is likely to change with varied teaching practices. For instance, active learning is designed to improve student knowledge and retention [5], and while grades can show this, it is also important to take into account how much a student feels that they have learned.• Question 4 is heavily based on the student’s interests and feelings on the course material. For example, if students have a strong desire to take a course, this positive feeling may translate to better ratings from students

Because it is assumed that current classroomteaching practices are fine, the goal is simply to record and electronically transmit classroomlectures, with supporting materials, and enable distance students to perform “as well as on-campus students.”The above approach typically fall shorts from several perspectives:  It sets the bar too low for distance learning. We can do much better than traditional lecture-based classroom instruction.5  It fails to see how properly deployed and supported technology can greatly increase the quality of teaching and
