Evaluating online teaching: challenges and complexities

Abstract

The article describes the role of teachers in virtual teaching and learning environments in terms of educational psychological models that have influenced distance education from its origins until today. The type of educational psychological model, as well as the technological devices used, either promote or constrain the dimensions that constitute teaching practices in distance education. These two factors (affordances and constraints) must be considered in the design of teaching evaluation in online settings.
