For the past decade, general and special teacher education faculties have incorporated technology-mediated online learning and distance education coursework into preparation programs with relative ease. However, supervising and supporting students' clinical experiences from a distance, which is the other critical component of effective teacher training, has posed some tremendous challenges. In this mixed methodology inquiry, we extended Rock et al's (2009) pioneering study of advanced online Bug in Ear (BIE) technology as an approach to supervising and providing 13 teachers-in-training with virtual coaching feedback online, in real-time, during their distant clinical experiences. The results confirmed that improvements in participants' use of research-based instructional strategies were achieved, in part, through immediate virtual coaching feedback delivered from a distance, using advanced online BIE technology. Implications for practice are discussed within the context of online learning and distance education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
