Distance Education for Teacher Training: Modes, Models, and Methods

By Mary Burms

Distance Education for Teacher Training: Modes, Models, and Methods builds on EDC’s extensive international and domestic experience in the field of distance education and gathers research and lessons learned from numerous programs in over 100 nations and territories to help distance education policymakers, planners and designers develop distance education systems focused on producing high-quality teachers. The publication focuses on the following areas:

• modes of distance education—types of distance-based delivery systems and their strengths and weaknesses from print to digital gaming to online learning to mobile technologies
• models of distance education for teacher training programs—actual examples of various programs from each continent
• methods or best practices necessary to develop a high-quality distance education program
