Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of chief academic officers (CAOs) and chief distance education officers (CDOs) regarding faculty satisfaction in areas of released time for training and course development, workload, overall support of distance education, and extra compensation. One-hundred-sixteen surveys were sent out by e-mail to all 58 community colleges in North Carolina. The data for this study came from the returned surveys. The combined return rate of surveys was 78%. The SAS Institute program procedures were used for the analysis of the data. An alpha level of .05 was used for all statistical analyses. Results of this study showed differences between the CAOs and CDOs regarding faculty satisfaction on key issues. One reason for this could be more frequent contact of faculty with CDOs than with the CAOs. Recommendations for further research include: 1. This study should be replicated in 2 to 3 years to ascertain what changes have occurred in North Carolina community colleges; 2. Similar comparative studies should be made regarding community colleges in other states; 3. Additional studies should be conducted in North Carolina to gather comments and concerns directly from faculty members. The following recommendations are made to improve distance education in North Carolina: 1. Adequate technology funding for distance education programs in North Carolina community colleges needs to be acquired; 2. A state formula should be developed to enable the sharing of FTE for community colleges in North Carolina that provide joint distance education programs; 3. Long-range plans for supporting and training faculty members and funding distance education programs should be developed in North Carolina community colleges; 4. Community colleges without written distance education policies should develop them; 5. Community college administrators should become better informed about the needs of distance education faculty members and programs; and 6. A state wide task-force needs to be developed to study the needs of distance education faculty members and programs in North Carolina.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine Alabama community college presidents' perceptions regarding distance education. Further, this study was intended to determine the adequacy of the training opportunities and support for faculty that teach distance education courses and what services are available for distance education students. This study was designed to investigate distance education in the Alabama Community College System and to provide information in an effort to create a comprehensive plan to maximize access to online learning for students within the system. A survey was given to a total of 26 Alabama 2-year college presidents (22 comprehensive community colleges and four technical colleges). The online survey consisted of 40 closed-ended multiple-choice questions and 2 open-ended questions. The survey asked questions regarding the presidents' perceptions of distance education, online courses, student support, and virtual community colleges. The results of the statistical analysis were presented in both narrative and table forms to provide answers to the four research questions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The study concludes with a summary, conclusion, and recommendations for further research. The findings of the study showed that Alabama community college presidents' perceived distance education as important to the growth of their respective institutions. Alabama community colleges provided adequate training opportunities for faculty who taught distance education courses, and provided adequate services for students that enrolled in distance education courses. In addition, the findings indicated the following factors had a major or moderate influence on their institutions' decisions regarding college-level, credit-granting distance education offerings: seeking to increase student enrollment, making more courses available, making more degree and certificate programs available, meeting student demands for flexible schedules and reducing seat time, providing access to college for students who otherwise would not have access, and maximizing the use of existing college facilities. The findings also determined that institutions provided adequate services for students enrolled in distance education courses.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While distance learning has grown in popularity, many question its efficacy because of low student success. Busy, time-starved community college students tend to flock to distance education courses because of their convenience and flexibility, but many have risk factors that makes it more likely that they won't be successful in their courses. Many faculty have been ambivalent about teaching distance education courses. While administrators see the cost savings of not having to use a physical classroom and the possibility of increased enrollment, some faculty are wary of losing the face-to-face interaction with students. Additionally, the teaching methods that work in a face-to-face class do not always work in a distance education course. This study compares the success rates of students in online, face-to-face and hybrid sections of gateway Math and English courses at a small North Carolina community college. The study also identifies barriers minority and non-traditional students face in taking distance education courses. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods in his researcher. He used an Informer report run by a college data analyst to compare the success rates of students by modality and demographic factors like race and age. The researcher used Chi Square goodness of fit and Fisher's exact tests to determine whether there were differences in student success according to modality or demographic group. He sent an e-mail survey to students who took online and hybrid sections of the gateway Math and English classes at the small North Carolina community college in fall 2018. The survey questions identified strengths and weaknesses of distance education courses and barriers that minority and non-traditional students face while taking these courses. Since the researcher is and administrator over distance education at his college, he will use his findings to help improve the program.

Book Synopsis NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM AND FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. by : Darcie Tumey
Download or read book NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM AND FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. written by Darcie Tumey and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are composed of full-time faculty and adjunct faculty who serve a diverse student population. As faculty they are expected to remain up-to-date in the best practices of instruction; to be experts in their areas of specialty; and are traditionally non-trained academics. At the same time, regional accrediting agencies have also established accreditation guidelines where faculty are to be qualified; have access to professional development opportunities; and online faculty have access to appropriate training. This study sought to understand full-time and adjunct faculty members0́9 attitudes, skills, and institutional resources towards professional development opportunities available to individuals who teach and develop online courses. This quantitative research employed an Internet-based survey of full-time and adjunct faculty who work on the 58 different North Carolina Community College Systems campuses. The questionnaire consisted of three topics (a) attitudes, (b) skill, and (c) institutional resources. Respondents were asked to rate the importance of each topic along a 5-point Likert scale. The study posed both research questions and hypotheses. Research questions concerning the perceptions of online teaching and course development were answered by computing descriptive statistics for each category. Null hypotheses regarding the perceptions among full-time faculty and adjunct faculty were tested with independent samples t-tests on comparing the importance to online instruction and their self-assessment. Next, paired samples t-tests were used to compare the similarities and differences between the full-time faculty0́9s and adjunct faculty0́9s responses. Results indicated consensus in the perceptions of both full-time faculty and adjunct faculty along the topics of skills and institutional resources with attitudes reflecting one question with non-agreement. A statistically significant difference existed among all three professional development categories in the comparison between importance to online instruction and the self-assessment except for one area: the self-assessment on institutional resources. Results indicated faculty have a growth mindset and are receptive to ongoing professional development opportunities that are related to their interests while efficiently using campus resources.
