Youssef (2005) made a research on ICT and higher education teachers training. Uzunboylu (2007) has carried out a study to determine the attitudes of English language teachers toward online education. He found that there existed significant difference in attitude towards online education based upon teaching experience, school location, and use of e-mail. Uzunboylu and Sor (2008) have done a study about the e-learning training needs of primary school students in North Cyprus. In their study, they have concluded that: The primary school teachers had e-learning training needs. They suggested that the school community should prepare an action plan collaboratively with the educators for motivating teachers in an e-learning training program before actually delivering e-learning training. In 2008, Tuncay and Uzunboylu have done a study about e-learning training needs of vocational high school students in North Cyprus. In their study, they have concluded that: The vocational high school teachers had three types of e-learning training needs: “Technology-based E-learning Training Needs”, “Web-based E-learning Training Needs” and “Administrative E-learning Training Needs”. In 2009, Tuncay, Stanescu and Uzunboylu, have delivered a research study in four countries and considered
621 teachers’ training needs: 66% of the Romanian teachers said their training needs refer to "mobile technology" and "wireless technologies"; 59% of the English teachers answered that their training needs concern the "tools for preparing a webpage”; 78% of the Turkish teachers answered that their training needs refer to "Skill of attaining a certificate programs"; 82% of the Cypriot teachers answered that their training needs relate to "Learning Management Systems" (see Figure 1).
