The Impact Of Online Teaching On Higher Education: The Coming Age Of The Virtual Teacher

Abstract

The first group of participants considered ten higher education teachers who, for the most part, were not able to fully enact their teaching identity in the online classroom. These teachers encountered significant pedagogical and interpersonal constraints that limited their professional satisfaction as online educators. The second group of participants consisted of nine higher education teachers who had overcome most of the issues first encountered when teaching online, and reported finding this modality professionally fulfilling.
