Bring pedagogy and cognitive science to online learning environments
Online Teaching at Its Best: Merging Instructional Design with Teaching
and Learning Research, 2nd Edition, is the scholarly resource for
online learning that faculty, instructional designers, and
administrators have raved about. This book addresses course design,
teaching, and student motivation across the continuum of online teaching
modes--remote, hybrid, hyflex, and fully online--integrating these with
pedagogical and cognitive science, and grounding its recommendations in
the latest research. The book will help you design or redesign your
courses to ensure strong course alignment and effective student learning
in any of these teaching modes. Its emphasis on evidence-based practices
makes this one of the most scholarly books of its kind on the market
today.
This new edition features significant new content including more active
learning formats for small groups across the online teaching continuum,
strategies and tools for scripting and recording effective
micro-lectures, ways to integrate quiz items within micro-lectures, more
conferencing software and techniques to add interactivity, and a guide
for rapid transition from face-to-face to online teaching. You'll also
find updated examples, references, and quotes to reflect more evolved
technology.
