1. College instructors are loyal.
    Ditto for corporate trainers.

2. Young instructors will jump on this.
    Most are over age 35; half are over age 50 (experienced instructors), most
    have tenure.

3. Web instruction is an either-or decision.
    Some just put up syllabus; some partially online; some completely; some all    
    types.           

4. Pedagogical tools exist to teach online.
   That is the biggest problem today. Technology companies with solutions are
   searching for questions. Biggest gaps were here.

5. College instructors will not put their instruction on display for others to
    critique.
    Over half of respondents thought course sharing was important; many wanted
    personal growth; others wanted pedagogical ideas, answers to teaching problems,
    expert advice, classroom management tips.

6. College instructors will flock to sophisticated technologies.
    Most studies show that instructors use only basic functions of
    uploading and downloading files and posting syllabi.

7. The institution will own the online courses.
    Only 16% agree with that.

8. College faculty just need a little more training for teaching
    on the web.
    Also need tech support, instructional designers, access, recognition, money, and
    release time. Time for course prep is important too!

9. Profit is the key motivator for most web initiatives.
   Actually, access and learning were deemed the primary motivators.

10. Shhh...If you don’t say anything, college instructors will just do this
      for free.
      Salaries, royalties, stipends and release time are important, though some will do
      this for free.
