A must-read
for the novice and expert online course designer
and deliverer!
– LIZ R. PAPE, CEO, The Virtual High School
This book
describes a process for designing online courses based on sophisticated learning experiences:
guided inquiry, collaboration, community, and
formative assessment. Its model will aid instructors in
reconceptualizing their teaching to take full advantage of new
interactive media.
– CHRIS DEDE, Timothy E. Wirth Professor of Learning
Technologies, Harvard Graduate School of
Education
What I was
particularly pleased with was the fact that the manuscript was
not over-laden with technical terminology,
acronyms or "techno jargon." This, I think, will
be a real asset in marketing the book inasmuch as it can be picked
up and read by someone who is not necessarily a "Techno
Buff."
– DR. GAYE LANG, Project Manager, Houston Independent School
District Virtual School
This book
gives you the closest thing to a surefire formula for creating
successful online courses. While you must ultimately carry out the
activities yourself, with the guidance given in this book, you are
close to being assured of success in the online arena.
– ZAHRL G. SCHOENY, Center for Technology and Teacher Education,
Curry School, University of Virginia
I’m
especially impressed with the overall clarity of explanations and
the balanced coverage of instruction
and technology. Clearly this is a text written from experienced
online instructors who nonetheless remember what it was like the
first time. Kudos.
