E-learning has played an increasingly important role in supporting the economic and educational growth of industrialized nations. It also offers opportunities for developing nations to enhance their educational and economic development. There is growing demand for teachers who have the skills to prepare students to be successful in a technology-infused, knowledge-based society. E-learning can play a critical role in preparing a new generation of teachers, as well as upgrading the skills of the existing teaching force to use 21st century tools and pedagogies for learning. In this paper we identify three ways that E-learning can contribute to the teachers´ development as part of a national strategy for educational and economic development; its role in helping to meet the quantitative, capacity-building capabilities; and qualitative demand for teachers.
