Developers of online professional development with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education write about what they have learned in the process of designing and implementing their professional development models. The material is to help researchers and other developers understand the range of effective models and their conditions for success. Covering course, curriculum support, and resources and strategies, they discuss such topics as professional learning with web-based videos: the talk science experiment, supporting deep change with an immersive online course, online teacher professional development from the American Museum of Natural History, the project-based inquiry science cyberlearning professional development system, and making online and blended teacher professional development accessible.

With an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) training,Teacher Learning in the Digital Age examines exemplary models of online and blended teacher professional development, including information on the structure and design of each model, intended audience, and existing research and evaluation data. From video-based courses to just-in-time curriculum support platforms and MOOCs for educators, the cutting-edge initiatives described in these chapters illustrate the broad range of innovative programs that have emerged to support preservice and in-service teachers in formal and informal settings.
“As teacher development moves online,” the editors argue, “it’s important to ask what works and what doesn’t and for whom,” They address these questions by gathering the feedback of many of the top researchers, developers, and providers working in the field today.
Filled with abundant resources, Teacher Learning in the Digital Age reveals critical lessons and insights for designers, researchers, and educators in search of the most efficient and effective ways to leverage technology to support formal, as well as informal, teacher learning.
