Abstract

Is it possible to support middle/secondary education preservice students using online learning? Five online learning modules were designed. Each module included a number of activities including readings and interpretive activities, tool-based tutorials, and the design of lessons. Each activity resulted in a product emailed to an online mentor. Online mentors responded to products, asked follow up questions, and discussed technology-using practices. Pre- post surveys assessed attitudes about technology competency, teaching with technology, and collegiality, self-efficacy, self-regulatory strategies, and stages of concern. Online mentors were asked to complete an assessment of online course performance. Four research questions are addressed.
