Abstract: Online distance learning can be the perfect way to reach educators who often have busy schedules and small budgets that prevent them from attending traditional training workshops. Session participants will discuss the benefits and challenges of online learning and share their own experiences as online learners and/or moderators, as well as learn about practical approaches to the challenges of program administration, course design, marketing, and evaluation. Panelists will present the latest research in the field and the lessons learned from a few established programs.
