Many TVET instructors found themselves having to learn and use digital tools in their teaching practice. The primary purpose of this study was to examine instructors’ perceptions related to digital teaching and learning within TVET with the aim to identify existing strengths, acknowledge barriers, and to propose a path forward. Our hope is that the findings and recommendations from this study will support the future direction of professional development for TVET instructors in British Columbia (BC), improving student learning outcomes, and their learning experiences.
