Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction: Educational Technology.
The quality of online courses has an impact on retention and student satisfaction in higher education. Designing online courses using best practice standards is a critical role for faculty members in higher education. Therefore, many institutions are adopting best practices in the instructional design of online courses. However, little is known about whether faculty members in higher education are adopting best practice standards in designing their online courses. The purpose of this study was to discover if faculty members adopt best practice standards in the creation of higher education online courses. The results revealed that higher education faculty members do adopt best practice standards in the design of their online courses. In addition, the study determined that full-time versus part-time faculty status is the strongest predictor for the adoption of best practice standard for online course design. It was also indicated that full-time and part-time faculty have different motivational factors for adopting best practice standards for online course design. Lastly, the study indicated that institutions would benefit in providing different types of faculty development delivery methods in the design of quality online courses.
