How Do You Ground Your Training? Sharing the Principles and Processes of Preparing Educators for Online Writing Instruction

Beth L. Hewett and Christa Ehmann Powers
"Our primary purpose in this webtext is to call for more professional discussion about training and professional development programs for online instructors. The simple fact is that it is difficult to know exactly what training processes various programs stress -- and whether and how they work -- because so little is written about them in the professional literature. We suggest, therefore, that online training generally needs to be addressed more broadly among those who already have implemented successful programs that provide comprehensive and systematic support for novice online instructors. All educators and administrators involved in the development and growth of online programs can benefit from sharing and exploring the processes and principles that ground them."
