Abstract
The realm of online learning is now clearly established. However, there remain concerns about online instruction, particularly in some fields of endeavor. This paper reflects on some of the weaknesses of online learning with a focus on teacher education programs and training.
Online learning, whether via hybrid, totally online, or supplemented by Zoom or Microsoft Teams, is a major part of education. However, educational theorists and pedagogists have some major concerns as to the quality of this training, and this paper will elaborate on some of those concerns.
