Abstract

Online collaborative environments have the potential to transform how teachers are supported in their professional learning and work. Yet, many teachers fail to fully or productively participate in these opportunities. To address this challenge, A Learning Community of Teachers (ALCOT), an online professional collaboration environment, was designed to support mentors and leaders in providing guidance to novices as they learn to develop and share ideas online.
