Grounded Designs for Online and Hybrid Learning: Trends and Technologies

Grounded Designs for Online and Hybrid Learning: Trends and Technology looks further into key aspects of designing and delivering online and hybrid learning environments. The contributors continue to focus on the instructional component of e-learning systems, looking at e-learning trends and technologies such as the management of large classes, podcasts, the educational uses of virtual worlds, and the development of virtual schools in North America and around the world. 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 is one of three-books in a series written for educators and instructional designers creating online and hybrid learning environments.
