Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Intended for classroom practitioners rather than academic theoreticians, this text focuses on offering specific, hands-on advice, tips, and guidelines gleaned from the author's personal experience in online education. The stated intent is to help instructors of all types incorporate online collaboration into their teaching, whether they are corporate trainers, workshop leaders, or classroom teachers. The 12 chapters are divided into three major sections: "Background and Theory," "Implementations," and "Beyond the Designs." Crucially, methods of assessment are consistently discussed, measuring both the students' progress and achievement as well as the instructor's. Concepts like communication, motivation, feedback, accountability, and active learning are stressed. The text is followed by a few pages listing online resources and a bibliography. Michael Tosko
