Teaching time investment: Does online really take more time than face-to-face?

Abstract

<span>Enrollments in online programs are growing, increasing demand for online courses. The perception that teaching online takes more time than teaching face-to-face creates concerns related to faculty workload. To date, the research on teaching time does not provide a clear answer as to the accuracy of this perception. This study was designed to investigate which aspects, if any, are more time consuming for instructors teaching in the online environment. Time logs were kept by four online instructors (eight classes) and six on-campus instructors (six classes) through six weeks of the 15-week semester. Results indicated that, overall, face-to-face teaching required more time per student, but certain aspects of online teaching take considerably more time per student than in the face-to-face classroom.</span><br /><br />

COVID-19 and digitizing accounting education: empirical evidence from GCC

“…Because of the current situation, instructors moved quickly from the traditional teaching to online teaching, But, does this sudden transition make them to dedicate more time for COVID-19 and digitizing accounting lecturing or not? Faculty members perceive online teaching more time consuming than the traditional one (Van de Vord and Pogue, 2012). Virtual learning requires instructors to incorporate online activities, which have positive impact on students' engagement, attitude and performance (Vatovec and Balser, 2009).…”

Teaching quantitative ecology online: An evidence‐based prescription of best practices

“…A study found that online teaching takes a minimum of 14% more time than face‐to‐face. However, other studies argue that time per‐student is similar to face‐to‐face delivery (Hislop & Ellis, 2004), while others found that online teaching takes, on average 11.28 min less per student than face‐to‐face classes (Van de Vord & Pogue, 2012). Every class is different, and this variability likely stems from the subtle differences between courses.…”
