Successfully Planning and Supervising Higher Education Online Programs

Abstract

Most research on online instruction has focused on the needs of students and faculty. Very little research exists related to effective educational leadership of online programs of study. This poster session summarizes the results of a qualitative descriptive research study of interviews with administrators regarding their experiences in planning and supervising online instructional programs. Specific focus is placed on the areas of benefits of online instruction, necessary skills to look for and evaluate in faculty who are hired and supervised to teach online, supports that are necessary for faculty in the areas of technology and library services, and future directions of online programs as they relate to educational administration.
