HISTORY OF E-COURSES
- From the first advertisement during 1728 in the Boston Gazette for short-hand classes to the radio and TV lessons of 1969 of the Open University, distance education has grownto huge proportions. (wiki.ask.com).
The University of London claims to be the first university to
offer distance learning degrees, establishing its External
Programme in 1858. (Wikipedia. 2011).
In 1996 Jones International University was launched and claims to
be the first fully online university accredited by a regional
accrediting association in the US. (wiki.ask.com).

3. Why e-PD?
.
Access: e-Learning is available for FREE on the Internet.
Convenience: e-Learning can take place anytime and any place there
is Internet access.
Choice: e-Learning increases professional development opportunities
for teachers.
Simplicity: visit the Web site to enroll, complete the course, take
an assessment, perform the follow-up activities, then incorporate
what you learn into the classroom.

RESEARCH
What were their findings?
This study provides a body of evidence that teachers participation
in a coordinated series of OPD courses have effects that translate
into improvements in targeted student outcomes.
What seems to be lacking is a system for helping educators to
continually learn about new educational resources and more
effectively keep track of and inform each other about the best
practices for technology supported learning.
Using online communities for professional development at a distance
can help reduce isolation in the classroom (Schlager, Fusco &
Schank, 2002)

8. DEVELOPMENT
What problems did your innovation encounter in the development
process?
It depends on the individual, she says. Just like online learning
isnt for all students, its not for all teachers either.(Davis.
2009).
CPD activities should:
be spread over time
be collaborative
use active learning
be delivered to groups of teachers
include periods of practice, coaching, and follow-up promote
reflective practice
encourage experimentation, and
respond to teachers needs.[7][8][9]

DEVELOPMENT
Who was the intended audience for your innovation?
The National Staff Development Council has provided leadership in
the creation and dissemination of standards that provide a
framework for guiding planning and providing professional growth.
These guidelines reflect the research and identify several key
components for effective professional development.
Those components include:
- Organize adults into learning communities whose goals are aligned with those of the school and district.
10. Provide skillful school and district leaders who guide
continuous instructional improvement. 11. Use technology as a
resource to support adult learning and collaboration. 12.
Disaggregated data and monitoring progress helps to sustain
continuous improvement. 13. Multiple sources of information and
knowledge are needed. 14. Educators should be prepared to apply
research to decision making, and to use research-based
strategies.http://www.cehd.umn.edu/EdPA/licensure/leader/2005Fall/CPS.html

Because traditional face-to-face professional development gathers
people in one place at one time, it cant reach as many educators.
(Davis. 2009).
As part of its popular Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative, the U.S.
Department of Education launched the groundbreaking e-Learning
professional development Web site.
Teachers receive free training focused on content knowledge and
instructional skills.
Thirty-two digital workshops are currently available on a wide
variety of topics, including elementary-level reading, vocabulary,
reading in content areas, algebra, turning data into information,
and differentiated instruction.
The Department's Web site has a searchable database of over 1,500
free teaching resources and lesson plans.
To date, the e-Learning site has logged more than 300,000
visits

Anticipated Innovators & Early Adoptors
Those who need:
Flexibility
Accessibility
Just-in-time learning
Self-paced learning

Persuasive Strategies
- Convenience of time, location, and selection.
20. Time, handicapped, options. 21. Need based, current, timely.
22. Allows multiple levels:accelerated vs. extra time.Change agent
must meet the need of the learner and show them the advantage
relative to their need.
23. Anticipated laggards
Are those who:
Persuasive Strategies
Communication strategies that target the laggards.
Use internet to reach them.
Show positive results and rewards.
Motivate slowly and in a safe environment.
Offer significant support.
15
Live in the Past
Are suspicious of change
Are resistant to change
Maintain the status quo.
Have limited resources/opportunities.
Are cautious.
24. Which combination of perceived attributes would be best for
helping your innovation meet critical mass in your industry?
PERCEIVED ATTRIBUTE
ROLE IN MEETING CRITICAL MASS
Courses must meet the National, State , Districts, and personal
needs ofeducators.
Themore user-friendlythe process is, the faster it will be
adopted.
Interdistrict promotion. Modeling by Administration andpeers is key
to adoption.
The higher the perceived advantage, the faster the innovation will
meet critical mass.
Free offers, limited trails and customer support would increase
usage.

Centralized approach
Continued use of My Learning Plan.com
Identify pre-approved online PD.
Direct teachers to select goal courses.
***Establish means to obtain approval for individual courses
necessary to meet educational goals.

Achieving Critical Mass
Has the innovation you are proposing to the Board already met
critical mass in society? If it has not met critical mass, which of
the four strategies for achieving critical mass do you recommend to
the Board for your innovation?
Use incentives

30. "We want to provide teachers with strategies that are proven to
work. And teachers want to hear from other teachers who are getting
real results in the classroom. That's why professional development
through e-Learning is such an important part of the No Child Left
Behind Act." U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings
