TEACHING ONLINE - CLAIRE HOWELL MAJOR KARTONIER...

It is difficult to imagine a college class today that does not include some online component -
whether a simple posting of a syllabus to course management software  the use of social media
for communication  or a full-blown course offering through a MOOC platform. In Teaching Online
Claire Howell Major describes for college faculty the changes that accompany use of such
technologies and offers real-world strategies for surmounting digital teaching challenges.
Teaching with these evolving media requires instructors to alter the ways in which they
conceive of and do their work  according to Major. They must frequently update their knowledge
of learning  teaching  and media  and they need to develop new forms of instruction  revise and
reconceptualize classroom materials  and refresh their communication patterns. Faculty teaching
online must also reconsider the student experience and determine what changes for students
ultimately mean for their own work and for their institutions. Teaching Online presents
instructors with a thoughtful synthesis of educational theory  research  and practice as well
as a review of strategies for managing the instructional changes involved in teaching online.
In addition  this book presents examples of best practices from successful online instructors
as well as cutting-edge ideas from leading scholars and educational technologists. Faculty
members  researchers  instructional designers  students  administrators  and policy makers who
engage with online learning will find this book an invaluable resource.
