How Educators Learn to Teach Online: What Administrators Need to Know

Monday, October 17, 2016 at 2:15 PM–3:15 PM CDT
Orleans Room
Session Type

Thinking (Concurrent Session): 60-75 minutes

Session Description

Research shows most teachers teach as they were taught. However, distance educators lack a model or benchmark for online teaching because many of them have not taken online courses as students. Indeed, many studies on teaching online point to the importance of training for online instructors. Few studies go into specifics about exactly what that training should look like. The purpose of this presentation is to examine best practices in professional development for educators learning to teach online.
