Designed in the form of a descriptive case study, this research was conducted with 34 attendees of e-Tutor. From a local program to a subproject within the Swiss National Science Foundation Project Scopes, e-Tutor aimed at expanding competencies in online lecturing and providing OER material for training colleagues. This paper provides insights into a multinational faculty development program for teaching online, elaborating on results of expectancy and satisfaction surveys. Universities should offer ongoing support in various forms to help academic staff through their online journey.

Teaching online requires different skills, roles and competencies for online instructors compared to teaching in traditional learning environments. The book comes with the subtitle “Education Reimagined” as it aims to provide a new approach of learning in four parts respectively. In “The One World Schoolhouse,” Salman Khan presents a simple thesis: We learn best when we learn actively and at our own pace, mastering each new skill before proceeding to the next.

In 2012 Khan wrote the book “The One World Schoolhouse” which is a kind of collection of Khan’s thoughts and experiences on education that he gained after the Khan Academy. Over time his website became popular around the world with its quality and attention grabber videos on diverse subjects. As the tutorials were on demand by the other cousins in time, he decided to put the video content on YouTube and the demand started to raise. The idea of offering free and world class education for anyone, anywhere started when the founder of Khan Academy- Sal Khan wanted to give video tutorials to one of his cousins upon request. With its impressive database, Khan Academy has around 10,000 tutorial videos with short and to- the-point content mostly in Math and recently in many other subjects from science to art and humanities. Khan Academy is a global phenomenon with its revolutionary way of distributing courses.
