Abstract: As the popularity for online learning increases, teacher education programs are re-envisioning instructional technology courses, methods training and field placements. The concern, however, is that the practices of online teaching are still developing and the research base hasn’t fully examined the constructs and frameworks that most impact good online instruction or online teacher development. This roundtable session will examine several traditional research areas that inform teacher preparation programs (teacher self-efficacy, TPACK, etc) and discuss how the research areas would need to be re-examined for use in online teacher preparation. Additionally, the roundtable will discuss what new areas for research may warrant examination based on the changing context of online learning.
