This chapter will focus on four issues involved in the assessment of online language teaching (uneven training/uneven institutional expectations, faculty resistance to online teaching and to their assessment as online instructors, diverse backgrounds among online instructors, and instruments used to assess the performance of online faculty) the challenges these factors present for carrying out such assessments, and possible solutions for meeting each of those challenges. This chapter will also include brief findings from a pilot study that provided a rationale for the focus on these four issues associated with online instructor assessment.
