Abstract

In this research project, the author compares the traditional learning environment to the online learning environment from a facilitators' perspective. Since there can be ambiguity in the instructor's role and function in an online environment, this research project represents an attempt to provide a concise, applicable list of effective strategies that instructors new to the online environment can utilize when teaching online. The strategies are based on methods and techniques utilized by instructors/researchers who have spent years in the field of higher education researching topics such as distance education, independent learning, and online education.
