This strategy is based on research suggesting that
innovative faculty development models focusing on personal needs are most effective in producing educational change (Persichette, 1998; Strudler & Wetzel, 1999), effective technology - related faculty development
efforts enable teacher educators to enhance their instruction (Cooper & Bull, 1997), and faculty members must receive support when they need it as
opposed to when a training session is offered (Ring, Cilesiz, Ali, & Chen, 2002).
