The rapidly expanding role of technology-based learning systems across a range of training contexts requires that current and future educators and trainers develop skills in the effective use of learning technologies. There is a particular need for teachers in schools and other educational settings to acquire the capacities to design and facilitate effective instruction for situations such as online learning environments.
