The convenience of on-line courses is a huge factor in deciding whether or not to take them. This article states the advantages to signing up to supplement teachers' current knowledge. A lot of teachers decide to go for their masters degrees. In doing so, they are overloaded with work, family, and school. Offering on line courses, as all universities and colleges do, provide for much flexibility. Furthermore, because technology is changing so rapidly, the courses allow teachers to stay on top of the latest advances. Additionally, teachers require support from their school and administrators to provide any additional curriculum and materials that may be needed. Again, the focus is on the teachers staying "in the loop" as far as technology is concerned. The more educated our educators are, the better the instruction they can deliver.
