Abstract

Texas STARgate is an online professional development portal for K-12 teachers in Texas schools. A Texas technology center experienced a variety of challenges in the design, delivery, and support of this portal. This paper examines the challenges and solutions developed to deliver this portal to a growing number of school districts. Examination of the solutions should provide critical information for other organizations desiring to implement similar online professional development portals.
