This is an essential resource for anyone designing or facilitating
online learning. It introduces an easy, practical model (R2D2:
read, reflect, display, and do) that will show online educators how
to deliver content in ways that benefit all types of learners
(visual, auditory, observational, and kinesthetic) from a wide
variety of backgrounds and skill levels. With a solid theoretical
foundation and concrete guidance and examples, this book can be
used as a handy reference, a professional guidebook, or a course
text. The authors intend for it to help online instructors and
instructional designers as well as those contemplating such
positions design, develop, and deliver learner-centered online
instruction.
Empowering Online Learning has 25 unique activities for each phase of the R2D2 model as well as summary tables helping you pick and choose what to use whenever you need it. Each activity lists a description, skills addressed, advice, variations, cost, risk, and time index, and much more.
This title is loaded with current information about emerging technologies (e.g., simulations, podcasts, wikis, blogs) and the Web 2.0. With a useful model, more than 100 online activities, the latest information on emerging technologies, hundreds of quickly accessible Web resources, and relevance to all types and ages of learners--Empowering Online Learning is a book whose time has come.
