Teachers’ Satisfaction in Virtual Environment of Distance Learning
Keywords:
Distance education, eâ€learning, teacher’s satisfaction, virtual environmentAbstract
Teachers feel stressed in distance learning institutes because of isolated environment. Teachers miss face to face interaction.Intuition power is a gift of conventional teaching that lacks in virtual teaching. They choose virtual teaching because of
technological transcendence and other career development factors. In teaching, virtual environment is preferred as you don’t
have to take your office along with you to home. Means you don’t have to get prepared for teaching before coming to
university. But in conventional teaching you must have to spare some time at home for preparing lectures, otherwise you cannot
face students.
