Teaching Online
Second Edition
by
William A. Draves
As a proponent and authority on lifelong
learning, Draves turns his attention in this volume to the most powerful
contemporary tool for democratizing and proliferating adult learning —
the Internet. He asserts that the Internet not only changes how we
learn, what we learn, who is learning, but must change the way we teach.
Draves writes:
Online learning will constitute 50% of
the way people will learn. It will not be 100%, and we will still have
in-person learning, but even in-person learning will be very different
from how it is today. The Internet is changing the way we learn.
This well-organized book lays out the most
accepted common features of online teaching —
useful for new online
teachers and those who want to add online elements to face-to-face
teaching. Advanced online instructors will also find new tips, including
original —
and possibly controversial —
ideas on strategic planning.
What
they're saying about...
A must read for
administrators, teachers, and anyone interested in the power and the
future of online learning and teaching.
