Many faculty members came through the academy with a traditional approach to the classroom, the flipped classroom, and similar traditional educational models in mind. Whatever their pedagogical preferences, those faculty members possess critical, relevant content. They know what to teach.
But then came distance education. And traditional faculty members often didn’t know how to teach the content they knew so well in a technology-rich environment. Not all faculty members are experts in the same kinds of teaching, anyway. Some are great lecturers, others are great practitioners, and a few are great technologists.
