An outward design support system to increase self‐efficacy in online teaching and learning Available to Purchase

The purpose of this article is to present an outward design for online support of a Web‐based, summer program that has been implemented at a medium‐sized, liberal arts university where student‐involved learning is at the heart of the mission, and technology is an important part of the vision of the institution. Because a sense of personal agency or self‐efficacy may be the most important determinant of motivation, the needs of both the teacher and learner need to be considered and integrated into the design and implementation of online support for teaching and learning.
