Study Shows Widespread Faculty Acceptance of WebCT: A "Faculty Distance Learning Assessment, Melanie Clay, 2000. A survey was distributed to UWG faculty early fall semester 2000, to measure faculty acceptance of distance education and to determine what factors motivate and inhibit distance participation. Faculty who had used WebCT for distance teaching were significantly more positive than those who had only used GSAMS. The primary factors inhibiting faculty participation in distance teaching were concern for course quality and workload. Motivating factors tended to more often be intrinsic (challenge, desire to keep up) for those who had distance teaching experience and extrinsic (release time, monetary reward) for those who had not.
