Abstract: The Diploma in Information and Communication Technology in Education, a qualification offered from the Christchurch College of Education, is one of the first programs for advanced study in New Zealand that is offered fully online. This qualification allows practicing teachers to upgrade their skills and knowledge about information and communication technologies. This qualification has been operating for two years and has over 350 students participating. These students have been surveyed to both examine the effectiveness of the online program and the impact of learning online on their confidence, skills and understandings of ICT. This presentation will offer both an explanation of the components and structure of the program as well as results and conclusions from the survey.
