Abstract

The quality of teaching in higher education is an issue which takes the researchers' and policy makers' attention especially after the second half of 1990s. Using online environments is a potential strategy for faculty development on teaching. This project aims to investigate the needs of early career and prospective faculty members' needs on teaching and examine the design, implementation and evaluation of an online environment incorporating discussions and exemplary teaching videos to support prospective faculty members' teaching profession. Findings are expected to provide a framework about using online strategies for faculty development aims.
