Online and Hybrid Learning Designs in Action illustrates how to apply eight instructional strategies based on cognitive information processing, inquiry, experiential, and game based theories of learning and teaching to ground the design of your online and hybrid coursework.
Grounded Designs for Online and Hybrid Learning
The quality of the e-learning materials and experiences offered online varies greatly. Few educators have the time and training to learn the new technologies necessary to facilitate e-learning, and even fewer receive the resources required to rethink their coursework and redesign their instructional materials. This three-book series, Grounded Designs for Online and Hybrid Learning, is written primarily for educators and instructional designers creating online and hybrid learning environments. Regardless of your underlying educational values and beliefs, grounded design provides practical methods that you can follow in a variety of settings.
