AB  - This work-in-progress shares some preliminary findings on identifying  and characterizing instructor experiences when teaching online Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) modules. Although online learning modules are widely used in professional education because of their flexibility, research on such modules generally focuses on the learner experience rather than the instructor experience. Understanding instructor experiences is important to improve content delivery, to aid in the development of future online learning experiences, and to better communicate the pedagogical design to instructors. Therefore, we sought to answer the research question: What are the experiences like for instructors who used our pre-designed MBSE modules to teach professional learners? The modules used in this study were developed by our team of content experts primarily for engineering professionals’ continuing education. We conducted semi-structured interviews with four instructors and used thematic analysis to investigate the interview transcripts. Our preliminary analysis suggests that instructors’ attitudes toward online learning—particularly as they relate to asynchronous interactions—and their comfort level with MBSE subject matter affected their teaching experience. Our future research will investigate the experience of instructors who were not at all involved in the module design process and instructors who used the modules as part of their undergraduate/graduate courses. We expect our findings to have implications for future designers and instructors of online modules in the MBSE subject area and beyond. We intend to present this work as a lightning talk.
