Although instructors can turn to instructional design teams for assistance in using Learning Management System and its functions, they specifically need their own first-hand, immersive learning within their pedagogical training. In other words, teachers need to learn in an online context like the environment that their students will use; such direct training helps instructors to facilitate student learning in a technologically distributed classroom. Beyond learning technological skills to facilitate a course, these teachers need to learn to use the technology effectively to keep students on track and to teach them skills and material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection--which includes three contributions from 2007 and 10 from 2017--focuses on the types of professional development instructors need to be successful in the online technical communication classroom.
