Teaching online poses the challenge of finding new ways to do what was previously done in the classroom. Instructors that feel frustrated at working hard to find new ways of doing things should not venture into online learning. However, for many instructors this is not only challenging but exciting. Those willing to tackle new technology and to creatively impart knowledge and skills should consider technology-based teaching.
Online learning can benefit the instructor by allowing him/her to replace the monotony of a traditional classroom with the excitement of a new medium. These instructors will find that new forms of learning develop with the new media. They will find that many of their assumptions were in fact incorrect, and those things that they perceived as disadvantages can become advantages. Perhaps this is the reason why in some universities faculty of traditional classes are requesting the use of e-learning systems to supplement their instruction.
