The paper introduces Teacher Interactive Electronic Continuous Professional Development (TIE-CPD), an online interactive training system. The framework and methodology of TIE-CPD are designed with functionalities comparable with existing e-training systems. The system design and development literature offers several methodology and framework examples. In the process of designing an e-training system, other system designs may be referenced to provide an overview of the framework and methodology for TIE-CPD. The proposed system are primarily intended to facilitate acceptance and use of electronic training environments for teachers across a broad range of nations. The main function of such a system is to provide a training system for teacher use in enhancing competency, professionalism, skill, and knowledge. A continuing development program based on this system can be interactively conducted online and accessed from anywhere. Thus, online training programs can be improved consistently and the cost in terms of both money and labor for such programs can be reduced.

In this chapter, the certified digital educator (CDE) programme is developed with the aim of providing the academics with an on-going training that will lead to the e-learning certification. Formulated as part of continuous professional development program for academics at Taylor's University, the CDE programme provides opportunities for the academics to equip themselves with related e-learning skills through the byte-sized training modules offered in addition to the existing blended learning and face-to-face session. Through CDE programme, all current e-learning-related training modules currently being offered to the academics have been re-categorized under four e-learning packages, which represent the four essential skill components required by the academics to effectively able to apply technology in their lessons. Upon completion of this program, the participants are awarded the certified digital educator certification that certify them as competent e-learning practitioners.

Background Society demands competent and safe health care, which obligates professionals to deliver quality patient care using current knowledge and skills. Participation in continuous professional development programs is a way to ensure quality nursing care. Despite the importance of continuous professional development, however, critical care nurse practitioners’ attendance rates at these programs is low. Objective To explore critical care nurses’ reasons for their unsatisfactory attendance at a continuous professional development program. Methods A nominal group technique was used as a consensus method to involve the critical care nurses and provide them the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and challenges related to the current continuous professional development program for the critical care units. Participants were 14 critical care nurses from 3 critical care units in 1 private hospital. Results The consensus was that the central theme relating to the unsatisfactory attendance at the continuous professional development program was attitude. In order of importance, the 4 contributing priorities influencing attitude were communication, continuous professional development, time constraints, and financial implications. Conclusion Attitude relating to attending a continuous professional development program can be changed if critical care nurses are aware of the program’s importance and are involved in the planning and implementation of a program that focuses on the nurses’ individual learning needs.

Imaging materials are the most important consumables in X-ray Departments and are key to the cost-effective running of the departments. While in use, some materials like radiographs are spoiled and discarded due to several reasons. At the same time, the skills that the radiographers have in producing radiographs play a major role in whether the film is accepted or rejected. The aim of this study was to undertake a wastage survey of materials used in conventional, specialized medical imaging and their relationship with Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Data collection was done in Mbangathi District Hospital. Phaseone involved the collection of radiographs and print paper wasted during examinations that were discarded. Phase two of the study was concerned with the filling in of questionnaires by the radiographers working in Mbagathi hospital regarding CPD. The study applied a descriptive design. The findings revealed that at Mbagathi X-Ray Department wastage rate was 5.47%. There were various reasons for radiograph wastage in Mbagathi Hospital which included exposure errors 59%, positioning 11%, processing 11% and film fog at 19%. From the results, exposure errors emerged as a major area where most wasted radiographs came from. The results from the questionnaire completed by the radiographers regarding CPD revealed that lack of finances was the most common obstacle to the attendance of continuous professional development activities (90.9%), followed by poor communication (72.7%), lack of time (54.5%) and the infrequent organization of CPD activities (27.3%).

The article presents the results of theoretical (content and essence of the concept of “labour function”) and empirical research (survey of teachers in the format of focus groups). Analysis of the content of the concept of “continuous professional development” and the dynamics of its changes during the teacher’s professional life made it possible to identify the leading competencies that are included in the content of the labour function. Discussion of the content and essence of the labour function “continuous professional development” in focus groups demonstrated some difficulties that the respondents experience in determining the content of the main competencies. The survey also revealed the respondents’ assessments of the existence of certain risks that the norms of the professional standard will be interpreted exclusively as new requirements for the teacher and will not take into account the changes in the requirements for the employer, who is obliged to provide conditions for the implementation of this labour function. The conducted research has confirmed the relevance of the development of the professional standard for teachers and revealed the need for additional explanatory work in the professional environment. The respondents also pointed out that the introduction of this document into practice can become the basis for designing an individual professional educational trajectory for a teacher and creating plans for corporate training for teaching teams. Further research is required by the introduction of a draft professional standard, including a possible revision of the activities of the advanced training system.
