Online Professional Development in Support of Online Teaching: Some Issues for Practice

Online Professional Development in Support of Online Teaching: Some Issues for Practice

Private Providers "Critical to Australia's Education and Training System"

Private Providers "Critical to Australia's Education and Training System"
Australia is in the middle of an election, and I am in the middle of Australia, so I will tread a little carefully here. But that said, it has yet to be shown to me how private providers solve (rather than exaggerate) problems like equity of access, the advancement of social objectives, advertising-free educational content, and fair distribution of resources.
