Abstract

The growth of online programs offered by U.S. educational institutions in the past decade has surpassed expectations. This growth has fueled research in online education, which though diverse does not address management of online teaching. Effective management of online teaching can lead to quality programs and enhanced student learning. In this paper we propose a framework that outlines how the principles of management can be applied to effectively manage online teaching. We believe that application of this framework in educational institutions will lead to quality online programs and sustained success of online programs for the long run.

MANAGING ONLINE TEACHING TO ENHANCE STUDENT LEARNING: A PARADIGM SHIFT

The growth of online programs offered by U.S. educational institutions in the past decade has surpassed expectations. This growth has fueled research in online education, which though diverse does not address management of online teaching. Effective management of online teaching can lead to quality programs and enhanced student learning. In this paper we propose a framework that outlines how the principles of management can be applied to effectively manage online teaching. We believe that application of this framework in educational institutions will lead to quality online programs and sustained success of online programs for the long run.
