Cover Story: There is broad consensus that flexible in-service training provision is an appropriate way of supplementing lifelong learning by teachers. Since most in-service training in the teaching profession takes place outside normal working hours, flexible and needs-oriented digital provision now has the scope to replace rigid curricula. This article analyses the perception and acceptance of digital learning formats of vocational school teachers in Poland, Italy and Germany. The innovative aspect of the study lies in its link between general perceptions of online learning and technology and findings in relation to a specific online teacher training tool. The study explores how vocational school teachers perceive online learning as a tool for their own in-service training. The findings show that vocational school teachers view online learning overwhelmingly positively as an in-service training format. View this paper.
