What a great resource Online Teaching in the Digital Age is for teachers. Some people may be put off at the high price for such a small book. Don't be. In a life filled to capacity with information it was a pleasure to be able to find what I needed quickly and easily in it. Besides, the price is dictated by the publishing industry, not the authors. Online Teaching is an excellent resource for current and future online teachers.The format and concision of this excellent book allows readers to go directly to areas of interest, such as "Choosing Course Features and Learning Tools" or "Moderating a Chat Discussion." With detailed explanations, examples, and computer screen shots, this book covers every aspect of an online course from planning, teaching, and troubleshooting to post-semester review. I found the sample syllabi in the Appendix especially helpful.
Pat Swensen and Nancy Taylor's Online Teaching in the Digital Age is a wonderful addition to the 21th century teacher's toolbox. As more and more universities and colleges realize the advantages of both real-time and asynchronous classrooms for their students, more instructors will need a map to this new way of reaching students. This practical and very user-friendly book offers a way to answer the many questions those of us who already teach, or who will teach in the future, on-line courses. It will settle our nerves and give us courage to just do it. I highly recommend this book for all teachers in all disciplines. The appendices with sample syllabi and schedules are worth the cover price alone!
This is a useful "how to" guide bringing together up-to-date best practices information. The book can provide new perspectives and tips for even veteran instructors. I have learned a number of new techniques. Recommended.
Whether you're feeling too inexperienced and apprehensive at the thought of teaching online or you're feeling overly confident and complacent (i.e., bored), Online Teaching in the Digital Age will give you confidence and renew your creativity in the classroom. Drawing upon and applying their experience as both in-classroom and on-line instructors, the authors include screenshots and examples to guide you. They've been in your shoes, and as a result, help guide you to avoid untold pitfalls. And if you have any questions after reading their text, those who purchase their book receive continuing encouragement, ideas, and responses to questions through the book's Facebook page.
Vague and examples shown too small. Looks like it was a written summary of a presentation on the topic. Bit disappointed
