Walking the Talk: Online Training for Online Teaching - Susan Crichton and Randy LaBonte

ABSTRACT: When e-learning companies initiate changes to learning opportunities for students, it is incumbent upon them to also change the learning opportunities for those expected to teach with their products. In other words, e-learning companies must learn to ‘walk the talk’ and rethink the traditional training format for site-based inservice, training and conference presentation. It is imperative that the teachers and instructors providing online learning be afforded the same learning experiences they are expected to provide students.... It is a further thesis of the paper that changes to a learning environment provided through technology will not occur until teachers and instructors are provided the same opportunities to learn with technology they are expected to offer their students.
