The Teletraining Institute is the largest provider of training for distance
educators in the nation. Its faculty has combined experience of over 40
years in distance education and teleconferencing.
The Institute was founded on the premise that even the best technology
will not allow educators to achieve the full potential of distance education
unless those educators are appropriately trained to adapt their styles
and methodology to the medium. Therefore the primary emphasis of the Institute
is to help instructors adapt their own skills to teach in a distance environment.
We focus on helping educators prepare and develop content in an appropriate
manner. www.teletrain.com
