This paper is based on a research project which provided an assessment of the value and contribution of the e-Learning Jamaica professional development training in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teachers’ classroom practices. A questionnaire was used in a survey of teachers from ten schools in Kingston and St Andrew to investigate teachers’ rating of the e-Learning training and its influence on their classroom practices.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between students' academic locus of control orientation (ALOC) and their ability to assess their own performance in the course. Twenty students participated in the study. Euchaus and Cassidy developed the Academic Locus of Control Scale which was adapted in this study. On this instrument, students were also requested to indicate their expected overall grade for the course. The findings suggest that this group of online students had low self-assessment skills.
