Abstract

Technological innovations have great impacts on higher education. In recent years, higher educational institutes have been replacing, or supplementing, the traditional face-to-face course delivery with electronically-mediated teaching in their programs (Garrison & Kanuka, 2004; Stoltenkamp, Kies, & Njenga, 2007). While the use of electronically-mediated teaching is increasing in higher education, the institutions have been facing complexities and challenges in academic staff engagement. This study used an action research approach to develop a model to motivate staff to be engaged in e-Teaching environments. The researcher role was a consultant in an e-Learning training centre in Saudi Arabia. This centre helps universities in Saudi Arabia to engage their staff in e-Teaching. While working collaboratively with a team from that centre and by reviewing the literature, the researcher has proposed a model to engage staff in e-Teaching for three female Saudi Arabian universities according to the preference of a sample from the same universities.
