Abstract
This article will address several areas relating to online learning and technology. We will report on work done in the development of four models that have been used to deliver effective professional development for adult learners. The courses are run in Taiwan from a base at Feng Chia University in Taichung, and all the attendees are Chinese.

Course facilitators are experienced in online learning and are Chinese. Our models thus utilize both internationally known teachers and local expertise.
