Abstract Details

2009, Master of Education (MEd), Ohio University, Computer Education and Technology (Education).
This study sought to explore the potential of implementing Online Professional Training Development (OPTD) for Faculty in the College of Education at King Saud University (KSU) and the barriers that prevent faculty members from participating in OPTD. A descriptive study was used to accomplish the objectives of the study. Data were collected through a web-based survey from forty-three faculty members at the College of Education at KSU. The findings revealed that the respondents are skilled in terms of using the computer and exploring the internet (M= 4.30, SD = 0.724); they have positive attitudes toward online learning (M= 4.32, SD= 0.66); and they perceived support from administrators in implementing OPTD (M= 3.59, SD= 1.06). The study also found that the most important barrier that prevents the responding faculty members from involving in OPTD was their workload and lack of time. This study concluded that they are willing to participate in OPTD with a reduction in their workload and an increase in release time.
