Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, v27 n4 2024
The adoption of distance learning tools (DTLs) is an important factor for higher education faculty when making decisions regarding teaching online. The higher the self-efficacy levels in the use of the tools, the more likely faculty are to continue to teach online. Professional development in the use of DTLs increases self-efficacy. This study examines where faculty seek professional development and the levels of confidence through self-efficacy and Levels of Use from the Concerns Based Model for change in the use of the technology. Both of these factors are important as institutions determine the best value for their training dollars.
