Professional development for teaching with technology

Abstract

Most South African universities provide professional development opportunities for their academic staff. It is one of the accreditation criteria for the Council on Higher Education (CHE) as it is considered a critical element of quality assurance. Increasingly, with the introduction of online learning management systems (LMSs), an array of web-based tools and a variety of technology available in classrooms, that development has to include working with technology to promote learning.
