Abstract
As virtual high schools proliferate, the issue of quality in education a distance must include a focus on high schools and the training of teachers to teach in them. The authors of this paper designed a novel approach to a course that aims to introduce new and practising teachers to distance education so they can develop a holistic appreciation of quality education at a distance.
