Makale Özeti:

Due to the recent developments in technology, distance learning and education
questions regarding the best teaching methods for the virtual classroom have emerged.
Thus, it becomes increasingly necessary to examine how these methods translate into
the virtual classroom. This qualitative case study examined how instructors of online
courses perceived the effectiveness of proven traditional teaching methods as well as
cooperative learning strategies in the virtual classroom. The five selected faculty
members, all of whom held terminal degrees, were selected through purposeful,
convenient sampling as well as snowball sampling, or chain sampling. Findings revealed
that although all five informants had been working in online learning contexts with their
students for two years and more, two of the informants still had not adapted in their own
understanding about how to maximize the online learning context and were unable to
apply their understanding of traditional instruction to the context of online learning. The
two informants who were younger and less experienced than others had adapted well in
implementing cooperative learning to maximize online learning. Finally, one informant
was able to take her instruction to a more complex level and became the facilitator of
learning through employing extensive use of student facilitators.
