Presentation description

While school calendars and budgets create barriers to professional development opportunities for educators, online professional development courses offer solutions that meet and exceed these challenges. This session for administrators explores the advantages of virtual learning for developing professional skills and knowledge, and provides insight into how educators can take charge of their learning. Participants will have an inside look into how learning occurs in online courses and how e-Learning for Educators partners (LEARN NC, NC DPI, UNC-TV, the Friday Institute, and NCVPS) are collaborating to address the needs of educators in our state.
