摘要

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of virtual teaching practices and explore the influencing factors that could affect the virtual learning of the selected virtual schoolteachers in one of the selected schools in China. The virtual schoolteachers assessed that the technology involved in virtual teaching, the opportunities for interface communication, and the approach of virtual learning in general were effective in meeting the needs of students for a certain set of skills they need to acquire through virtual learning. Teachers perceived learning environment as a diverse platform where students engage and interact to learn new skills. Drawn upon interviews with the teacher‐respondents with combined individual and focused‐group discussion, this study provided implications for technology infrastructure, technical and administrative support, formative evaluation and assessment, and school leaders' managerial support. The study suggests that providing virtual school teachers with adequate and practical trainings and professional development, and creating course design appropriate for online teaching tools and resources can achieve more quality learning outcomes. In the same manner, school administrators, academic managers and school heads can meaningfully design and implement purposive instructional and mentoring strategies in order to instill professional growth and thereby achieve success in delivering quality education through virtual learning. Thus, based on the findings gleaned from this investigation, the study served as the source for suggesting interventions for enhanced online teaching‐learning tools.
