Asynchronous Anywhere Anytime (AAA) PD
From LiteracyTentWiki
AAA PD
This is online professional development that adult education teachers can use anytime, usually without a fee to the user. There are many examples of this in our field, some of which are listed below. AAA PD may be particularly helpful for part-time teachers who cannot attend face-to-face PD, and for volunteer tutors who want to continue to improve their tutoring skills and knowledge after an initial face-to-face training, as well as for other adult education teachers.
