Abstract
Preparing university faculty to teach online has been a major concern of many higher education institutions of late. Faculty, who have built their careers as face-to-face instructors, are having to learn at light speed how to translate their content into online instruction. The researchers in this study, as part of an National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) grant, sought to prepare minority dissertators and doctoral fellows in STEM fields for online teaching. The purpose of this research was to study the impacts of training in online course construction on their efficacy in constructing and teaching an online course.
