Abstract
To design high-quality teacher professional development (TPD) programs, collaborative, active learning experiences should be provided, where teachers are supported by constant modeling, coaching, and expert feedback over a sustained duration. TPD@Scale aims to address this need in the Global South. ICT in the form of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), open courseware, intelligent tutoring systems, learning games, and a variety of peer learning networks and collaborative communities are among the emerging technologies mediating TPD. The paper provides the example of the Open University (OU, U.K.) which launched the Teacher Education through School-based Support in India, or TESS-India (2012).
