Developing best practices in online teaching and learning to impact students and their organisations

Abstract

Online learning and teaching is rapidly increasing worldwide, including New Zealand's schools, tertiary organisations and training companies. Extensive professional and organisational development is urgently needed to enable high quality education and training. We have evidence that our courses in best practices in online teaching and learning are impacting schools and tertiary education, including nurse education. This paper highlights aspects of our courses that appear to result in improvements in online and blended learning. © 2009 Nicki Dabner and Niki Davis.
