Transitioning to Online: A SWOT Analysis by First Time Online Business Faculty
de los Santos, Esmeralda; Zanca, Nürsen A.
e-Journal of Business Education and Scholarship of Teaching, v12 n3 p69-84 Dec 2018
Online education continues its growth trajectory benefitting public four-year institutions of higher education as well as private universities. Recently, private non-profits have experienced double-digit increases despite late entry into online education. Situated within the context of a private nonprofit institution and its recently developed asynchronous online program, the purpose of this paper is to examine the teaching experiences of first-time business professors as seen through the lens of a SWOT analysis. Designed to capture the views of three stakeholders: Students, Faculty, and the Institution, the SWOT analysis suggests that local and regional research may yield untapped sources of opportunity for online programs at non-profit institutions.
