The Korean government created a Cyber Teacher Training Centre (CTTC) in the summer of 1997. The CTTC project developed a software platform for managing online inservice teacher training, eleven general training courses, with plans to add more courses each year.

This case study looks at the needs met by the initial introduction of online training and the impact of online teacher training.

Online teacher training is seen to have several benefits:

(a) teachers can access inservice training without leaving their classrooms;

(b) teachers can improve their computer literacy;

(c) teachers are better able to interact with their trainers and other teachers online; and

(d) once a database of online courses has been developed, teachers can access those courses that meet their individual needs.
