Product Description

The power of eLearning does not come from technology alone. Rather, it is unleashed when teachers know how to use technology to create better instruction. The focus of this book is on eLearning pedagogy. Straightforward and practical, many of the concepts are based on the common sense strategies experienced teachers discover through trial and error when using technology in the classroom. (Professional resource book not available for sampling.)

What people are saying about The Power of eLearning…

“Concise, clear and comprehensive are three words to describe this text. It begins with the most important component in elearning-Pedagogy. I plan to incorporate this text in our faculty development program for university faculty. The author has struck a perfect balance of addressing the needs of the instructor and the needs of the students when designing and implementing elearning!”
—Dr. Phyllis Self, Vice Provost for Academic Technology, Virginia Commonwealth University

“An absolute must-have for teachers, lecturers, and instructors… This is a most comprehensive look into providing and evaluating elearning.”

“If you purchase the book for nothing other than the end of chapter URLs and references, your money will be well spent.”
