Instructional Immediacy and the Seven Principles: Strategies for Facilitating Online Courses

Issues of faculty attitude and support toward distance education, instructional immediacy, and the Seven Principles relative to web-based instruction will also be presented as variables in need of further attention in distance education research. Finally, the paper describes how the constructs of immediacy and the Seven Principles could expand the current framework of research to include strategies that could better enable instructors to better achieve desired student outcomes in web-based courses.
