This book is just in time for me or anyone interested in designing
face-to-face and online courses. It demonstrates through the use of
sound principles and practices how a seven-step design can be used
to infuse structure throughout the college course or training
workshop without sacrificing spontaneity or creativity. Vella has
written a marvelously engaging, insightful and resourceful book
which can be used as a template for making anyone feel comfortable
heading into the classroom or teaching online whether they are a
new or experienced instructor.”--Virginia H. Milhouse,
associate professor and Fulbright Professor of Intercultural and
International Relations, University of Oklahoma
“Jane Vella and dialogue-based education go hand-in-hand. Through On Teaching and Learning her insights deepen, her experience shows through, and her gift for useful application shines. Loaded with ideas, practical suggestions and illustrations this book will connect with the deeper purpose and process of creating learning no matter the subject matter. Vella has a way of giving us structure and freedom, encouragement and nudging provocation to rise to our best as trainers and educators. This is an apple on any teacher’s desk. Keep it close.”--John Paul Lederach, professor of international peacebuilding, Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame
