Abstract

Due to a variety of factors, many paraeducators receive little to no opportunities to advance their professional skills. Asynchronous online learning opportunities offer a flexible way for districts to provide paraeducators opportunities to advance their knowledge, although little is known about what online resources are available, their features, or their overall quality. A review was conducted of 19 freely available online learning opportunities to evaluate features, alignment with federal legislation and professional standards, active engagement features, and usability. Results indicated that features and quality indicators varied across resources and half of the resources required active user engagement. Limitations, suggestions for future development, and future research directions are discussed with an emphasis on factors related to online delivery.

辅助教育者异步在线学习机会的系统评价

由于各种因素，许多准教育工作者几乎没有机会提高他们的专业技能。异步在线学习机会为各地区提供了一种灵活的方式，为准教育工作者提供了提升知识的机会，尽管人们对可用的在线资源、其功能或整体质量知之甚少。对19个免费在线学习机会进行了审查，以评估功能、与联邦立法和专业标准的一致性、积极参与功能和可用性。结果表明，不同资源的功能和质量指标各不相同，一半的资源需要积极的用户参与。讨论了局限性、未来发展建议和未来研究方向，重点讨论了与在线交付相关的因素。
