ABSTRACT:
This paper explores the importance of interaction in the online teaching environment
and the important role of staff development in developing teacher presence online.
Professionally developing staff to use information and communication technologies is
viewed from the standpoint of diffusion of innovation, moving from early adopters to
mainstream majority, and targeting staff development at this latter group. Approaches
to staff development using information and communication technologies are described,
and recommendations for staff development for online teaching are made.
