Abstract
Although a large number of colleges and universities have begun offering economics courses utilizing distance learning, limited empirical evidence has been presented on how economics faculty perceive this medium. We address this weakness in the literature by conducting a survey of academic members of the Economics professorate and examining their perceptions and attitudes toward distance learning. Specifically, we solicited information on current offerings using distance technology, the willingness of faculty to teach via distance delivery, perceived suitability of various economics courses for distance delivery, the degree to which requisite distance delivery technologies are used by faculty, and perceived stakeholder demand for distance education.
