This phenomenological study explored strategies used by leadership in institutions of higher education to implement online education into their traditional brick-and-mortar institutions. There appeared to be limited research, if any, that looked at the implementation of online education through the eyes of the leadership of the institution. A number of institutions have implemented online, and many researchers have written about online education, but mostly through the eyes of students, faculty, or external sources.

520 $a This phenomenological study explored strategies used by leadership in institutions of higher education to implement online education into their traditional brick-and-mortar institutions. There appeared to be limited research, if any, that looked at the implementation of online education through the eyes of the leadership of the institution. A number of institutions have implemented online, and many researchers have written about online education, but mostly through the eyes of students, faculty, or external sources.
520 $a The phenomenon of online education serves as the core for four major topics that provided the framework for the review of the literature; managing change in higher education; online, distance, and e-learning in higher education; faculty in higher education for online education; and leadership in higher education. While the literature review uncovered a large amount of prior research in each of these four areas, it failed to uncover the leadership perspective of online education.
520 $a Twenty leaders from institutions of higher education were interviewed for the study. The interview approach was designed using the Seidman (1991) approach of semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed using the Moustakas (1994) approach of clustering and single-analysis subject theme development.
520 $a The results of the interviews indicated that there truly was little, if any, past research available for educational leaders to draw upon in embarking on a project of adopting and implementing online education. As a result, institutions were developing their own methods of implementation which would yield countless struggles and failures in the process.
520 $a Conclusions from the research indicated that collaborative strategic planning, institutional-fit with university buy-in, and a comprehensive training program for all individuals connected to online education, along with orientation and support, were the three most recommended leadership strategies cited by the participants. System-wide communication, sound sustainable financial support, and a standard platform for the online programs also ranked high on participant responses.
520 $a The following three areas were identified as potential opportunities for future research: Hidden costs associated with online education, sustainable sources of funding for online education, and pedagogical analysis of online education.
