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.
