| Abstract: | This case study explored the experiences of secondary school teachers teaching a videoconference course simultaneously in four rural schools in one school district. The exploration encompassed positive experiences, challenges, and the personal attributes of the teachers that contributed to their success. Six teachers with experience teaching videoconference courses in rural schools completed an individual questionnaire and participated in a follow-up interview. The results of this study comprise a description of the experience of being a rural videoconference teacher in a particular school district, as well as a list of teacher attributes that participants identified as contributing to their success as videoconference teachers. |
