Abstract: Innovations in online technologies have fueled a rapid expansion in distance education; therefore, it is essential to explore online instructors’ knowledge and use of e-Learning tools. Particularly, the study examined a) instructors’ motivation for teaching online; b) awareness of e-Learning tools available at their institution; c) barriers that prevent faculty from teaching online, c) sources of training/development for teaching online and the integration of e-Learning tools; d) how instructors use e-Learning tools for collaboration/online interactions and assessment; providing feedback, communication, and delivery of instruction/facilitation; e) similarities or differences in online course evaluation in comparison to face-to-face courses; f) and instructional design and pedagogical needs associated with online instruction.
