Although online learning has continued to grow, limited research has investigated the perceptions of experienced online teaching faculty. The purpose of this study was to investigate how 33 faculty with 10 years or more of experience teaching online perceived the future of higher education online. Qualitative interviews were analyzed in comparison to the future trends identified in the 2015-2019 Horizon Reports. Results indicate that the future of online learning should be considered an integral part of higher education, as the future points to education delivered in multiple modalities. Instructors were optimistic that the growth of educational modalities could lead to greater access and accessibility for students, and discussed the role of "brick and mortar" institutions, as well as technology development. Instructors hoped that face-to-face campus programs would remain, but that online and remote communities could serve students who find online education a better fit for their lives. Instructors highlighted the diversity of online students, as well as the diversity of types of degree, credential, and certificate programs. Taken together, these finding suggest that professional development efforts should prepare faculty to teach using multiple modalities, and to serve students from diverse backgrounds with diverse goals.
