The study utilized a descriptive research approach to analyze the professional development needs of participants. Researchers for this study wanted to know the kinds of support and incentives that are being offered for faculty members who are teaching online courses, the kinds of professional development opportunities that are being offered, the topics faculty members are interested in learning more about, and their preferences for delivery methods of professional development sessions. A self-report survey was selected as the method of research. The population consisted of 40 faculty members who teach education-related courses at one southern university. Data were summarized utilizing descriptive statistics, specifically frequencies and percentages.
