Gregory W. Hislop, a, , and Heidi J. C. Ellis, A study of faculty
effort in online teaching. College of Information Science and
Technology, Drexel University. February 2004.
• Opinion that teaching online takes considerably more time
than traditional face-to-face instruction.
• Lack of quantitative data to either support or disprove.
• Seven comparable pairs of online and traditional course
sections.
• Total effort expended by faculty and pattern of effort over
time.
•
Conclusion: Total time expended less but when normalized
for class size, amount of per student instructor effort equal.
