Abstract
Teacher training has a continuum that includes initial teacher education, induction and continuing professional development; it is closely connected to quality assurance and learning outcomes. This report covers all of these phases with detailed description of a range of offerings in different regions of the world. There are also variations due to the decoupling of the role of the traditional classroom teacher into a number of roles including the central complementary roles of one or more distant eTeacher(s) and adult(s) who facilitate student(s) aged 14-21. Recommendations include raising awareness of the importance and value of teacher training for many roles including staff working with an eCampus and in initial teacher education, as well as researching and developing effective teacher training suited to particular regions and clientele in Europe.
