Conclusion
Online
courses attempt to resolve some of the conflicts many
educators face in meeting professional development
requirements. However, teachers are now faced with a new
task of trying to find online courses to match their
personal professional development plan. Ferreting out the
information needed to make an informed choice requires an
understanding of what constitutes good online professional
development, the ability to identify one's individual
learning characteristics, and a clear focus on professional
development goals. Once these criteria are established,
selection of an online course becomes dependent on the
ability to filter through numerous offerings that address
one's needs. The University of Delaware Online Professional
Development Center aims to simplify the search for
appropriate online professional development courses.
