What the paper says

This study compares online and offline Faculty Development Programmes (FDP) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on expert judgments. Using AHP and feedback from faculty members who worked in this area, the weighted average of responses from faculty members for each of the five dimensions of training design and delivery, learner engagement and motivation, support and resources, learning environment, and overall training effectiveness is assessed. The results conclude no differences in perceived weaknesses in offline and online FDP professional training workshops. More emphasis was laid on online FDPs. The AHP approach offers a systematic and rigorous framework for organising the components of each training program, thereby enabling the development of a precise and unbiased model supported by derived empirical evidence. The results reinforce the value added of virtual learning FDPs and construct criteria to develop low-threshold access and high-impact FDPs.
