The VISCED project has recently published reports on both teacher training and potential success factors related to virtual schooling. These are both interim reports that will de adapted and expanded in the course of the first part of 2012. The report on teacher training provides a presentation and discussion of distance education (DE) history and background. The report on potential success factors is based on the set of Re.ViCa Critical Success Factors adapted for use by the Distance Learning Benchmarking Club and then reworded for schools in terms of a virtual school within a conventional school.
