Using Learning Management Systems to enhance Professional Development in Schools

In a time of escalating costs of Professional Development both to attend and to cover, in-house Professional Development is growing in it's importance. Added to this is the requirements for documented evidence of teacher development and the growing administrative workload can reduce the effective professional learning happening in a school.
