Abstract
Distance education has evolved to the point where technology is no longer a major concern to distance educators and students. For the most part, technology used in the delivery of distance courses is stable and reliable. Ironically, but not surprisingly, it is the human factors that most greatly influence distance teaching and learning; ergo, the importance of appropriate pedagogy and course design. This paper emphasizes the importance of harnessing the features and functions of a computer-mediated communication (CMC) or course delivery (CD) system to deliver online training courses that are engaging, pleasing, and pertinent to teachers and their professional development. It offers recommendations and suggests uses of CMC/CD systems that speak directly to the application of pedagogy and instructional design required for teacher success in this particular type of professional development setting.
