| Personal development | 10 (14) | It becomes possible for the individual to see their shortcomings. I think it is the best one. Also, my tenure track is newly coming, these are the periods when we step into the associate professorship. Well, you know I did not have an account in entering question. The best is to being able to see shortcomings and then ask them to you. It is important to be able to get information from safe [trusted] people! P4 | Improving teaching skills | 5 (7) | I’m 40 years old, and there’s a huge generation difference between me and the new generation. I wanted to come to class to be able to tell them enough, more appropriate, and better-quality lessons. My main objectives were to offer more benefits to students and to learn how to use the Internet actively. P17 |
| Improving teaching skills | 8 (11) | At the moment, we are viewed as future faculty. From my point of view, I am getting the first steps of the education career. When I came across an education for a faculty, I thought I shouldn’t miss it and I was thrilled. I have to attend this education. For example, why do we have regular assistant trainings? Intern trainings are provided for second and third grade students. We become role model for the students. At this point, in order to get close to them, I came to learn the method of education while giving education. I can’t say that my qualifications were super when I came to the course, but I started to learn how to fish. Frankly, that was why I came, and I had motivation. P24 | Job-related interest | 4 (5) | I wanted to learn a lot and had this kind of experience when I was abroad. I was using another e-learning platform more actively. I wanted to create a platform of our own here and I was very motivated. P20 |
| Certification | 6 (11) | Actually, my purpose of getting this education was only to receive certificate. The reason of this was I had no information. Head of our department, our dean, mentioned that it would be useful if we attended and received this education, and this motivated me to participate. P9 | Personal development | 3 (4) | I have a mechanic for how it can be used in terms of my personal development. P14 |
| Perceived quality of course | 4 (4) | You will get rid of the useless information heap, and you will reach the information in short time from the target lecture notes showed by the faculty. Definitely it is something that will save time and the biggest benefit of it is that. P22 | Incentives | 2 (8) | Personal effort should be prioritized and supported with thanks. The biggest thing is to support lower base..., I’m more motivated when a letter of thanks comes. Sometimes the students, sometimes the dean, are sending me such letters. As a result, I’m quite happy. In the same way, a motivating letter of thanks can be sent from time to time as a result of participation and support in e-learning. P12 |
| Learning climate in BL | 3 (3) | After the technology is integrated, the socialization of people is increasing. The person cannot ask the question within 300 people but then they can ask via message. I think this situation is more advantageous in terms of self-improvement. Mutual interaction also has benefits in learning. You can learn something in front of the computer, but a humor or example that the teacher says at the moment can provide persistence. P7 | Perceived quality of course | 2 (2) | In classical system, everyone can use electronic technology very widely. For instance, while waiting for the flight on a trip, I can open my laptop or mobile device and get a chance to read. It’s really a timesaver. It is very important thing to our academic life. We might need to study everywhere. A guideline is published, we can immediately download and check it. The same thing can be provided to the students. We are already trying to provide now…however if you say this takes complete place of the lessons, I might disagree with. P1 |
| Decrease time allocation for face-to-face sessions | 1 (1) | There were friends of mine who couldn’t come to this program…the first thing they say that why it was 8 days. With the blended method, the reduction of face-to-face durations is good. P25 | Certification | 1 (1) | |
| Incentives | 1 (1) | To create something tangible here. So, in the end, it’s one of its tasks. P25 | Learning climate in BL | 1 (1) | An interactive learning environment and self-direction of the faculty based on feedback are extremely important. P10 |
| Job-related interest | 1 (1) | Of course, I would enter the notes [I would upload to the system]. I might upload resources or motivating things. P25 | |||
