Enhancing pre-service teachers´ learning about on-line learning through use of a Self-managed On-line Learning Environment

This paper describes the development of a web-based Self-managed On-line Learning Environment (SOLE) and its feedback from pre-service teachers participated in a pilot project. The main purpose of this project was to enhance the understanding about on-line learning through the actual use of SOLE while pre-service teachers were doing their teaching practice in schools. Preliminary results showed that participants in the pilot study expressed positive attitudes and reported better understanding about using on-line learning in their future teaching. However, the unsolved technical problems in the trial process affected their confidence in attempting student-centred learning strategy with the use the system.
