The Consortium is a continuation of eLearning for Educators (eFE), a grant funded, collaborative effort among state departments of education, public television stations and other organizations aimed at delivering effective, online professional development (OPD) for teachers free or at very low cost.

Presently, the Consortium – a post-grant continuation of eFE—promotes and facilitates free, open sharing of resources among member states and is currently assisting new member states in establishing a sustainable, nimble, state-run systems of OPD to improve teaching and learning. Before joining APTV, Lynne was a classroom teacher, school administrator and district program specialist in Alabama and Georgia schools. She holds a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies and is an active volunteer and board member in community arts organizations.
