Produktbeschreibung
Online professional development (OPD) is a recent
innovation in K-12 school districts. While many
studies have examined the skills and competencies of
online instructors few studies have examined online
learning for adults through the perspective of
instructor beliefs. This qualitative case study
examined the beliefs of five OPD instructors about
online learning for adults, online learning
environments, and instructional strategies to
facilitate learning. Findings from this study have
implications for online instructors, adult learners,
and for OPD programs in school districts and academic
settings. This book would be useful for scholars and
practitioners interested in online teaching and
learning in K-12 and academic settings.
