1. NCETM, Evidence-based considerations
This short document aims to synthesise the evidence into a set of prompts to consider when designing online or blended PD.
It would be useful as a reflective tool for leaders of PD and those designing and delivering PD.

2. University of Birmingham and CUREE, Teacher Education Modality Rapid Review Modes, Affordances and Evidence on Remote and Blended Initial and Continuing Teacher Education
This substantial paper starts with a literature review to develop principles for effective teacher education and then uses these to structure the discussion on advantages and limitations of remote and blended modes.
It would be useful for those colleagues wanting to explore this area in more detail through an academic paper.

3. Salmon G, Five Stage Model
The author offers a structured developmental process for online learning. The five-stage-model provides a framework or scaffold for a structured and paced programme of ‘e-tivities’.
It would be useful for colleagues wanting to explore how to increase levels of interactivity through structured hierarchical approach to online PD.
