This question is for any/all of us on the list. Our experiences in participating in professional development online are as important as our experiences in developing/delivering online PD. Some may feel it is more important. With that in mind, I cannot think of a better place to start! What have been your experiences in *participating* in professional development online or at a distance? (Examples include online courses, webcasting, videoconferening, audioconferencing, discussion lists, email, chat sessions, etc.) Why did/do you participate online or at a distance, versus other options? Please describe the professional development experience(s). What stood out to you? What aspects/features of the online or distance professional development did/do you like or not like? What can be done to improve the learning experience? How do these experiences compare to your experiences with other types of professional development? Thanks! Jackie
