Using Fuller’s concerns-based model for teacher development, this study identifies concerns and strategies experienced by 103 online instructors in a six-week online professional development course offered multiple times over a three-year period. The study reveals that online instructors identified concerns related to self, task, and impact. In the end, this study provides practical strategies for the rapidly rising population of online instructors who aspire to design and deliver effective online instruction. (Abstract by authors)
