Editor's Notes
- 1. (Hearing from students would seem to imply a feeling of connectedness, but instead posting in the discussions is perceived by instructors as more related to Connectedness.) 2. Those who perceive highly their ability to facilitate online discussions are more likely to make a lot of postings and find discussion scoring to be time consuming. However, they are also more likely to perceive a higher quality of interaction (compared to f2f classes) and more likely to feel connected to their students. (Taken together these variables only account for 36% of the variability in Skill in Facilitating. Student feedback? Student grades? Particular types of preparation? Are more experienced online instructors more likely to perceive themselves as skilled facilitators?)
