Abstract: The Faculty Development Institute (FDI), a large scale, formal faculty training programme, was implemented to help faculty acquire skills necessary to incorporate computer technology into their instruction. This study uses a mixed methodology to identify and compare the goals, expectations, and perceived outcomes stakeholders held for FDI. The stakeholders had similar expectations for the outcomes during and/or immediately following the initial FDI workshop, but differed in their expectations of the long-term outcomes.
