Pedagogical Models: The Discipline of Online Teaching (Education in a Competitive and Globalizing World)

In this era of expanding technology innovations, online learning opportunities are evident in both private and public educational institutions. Educators are presenting content digitally to students with a number of applications provided by their institutions. However, despite the commonalities of institutions using a learning management system or having an instructional designer on campus, many instructors still remain grounded in the pedagogy that they use in the traditional classroom. Furthermore, driven by the institution to produce online companions to the traditional campus course offerings, instructors can often be too busy learning the technical aspects than spending time on content or exploring and learning how to teach via the 'internet.' This book provides a multifaceted look at online instruction from a variety of authors and may assist instructors who teach online or will teach online in the future.
