This research investigates an approach to improving science teacher's access to highquality PD. Working with a small number of teachers, this exploratory study details how we combined social capital mechanisms with essential teacher learning and PD requirements to overcome existing challenges in the delivery of a PD course in a fully online asynchronous platform. Findings reveal comparably high satisfaction and usability of course materials as compared to previous face-to-face PD. Teachers also
