Product Description
For graduate-level courses in Distance Education/Distance Learning/Web-based Learning/Online Learning/e-Learning/Distributed Learning. This practical volume details the journey of online learning from theory to practice. Using a flexible yet systematic instructional design framework that enables even novice teachers to design, plan, and implement customized instructional environments, this text thoroughly addresses how course management systems and other online learning technologies can be used to design learner-centered environments that actively engage students. Emphasis throughout is on the vital interaction among pedagogical models, instructional strategies, and learning technologies. This text is born of the authors' extensive experience in using technology in online/distributed learning contexts, and based on the principles of learning as a social process.

 A poor quality textbook October 2, 2008
A. Carstens (Minnesota, USA)
The book I received has a poor binding, and the pages appear to be photocopied. Text is difficult to read, and images that were obviously originally in color are only black-and-white blurs. Amazon.com sent me a replacement copy, but it had the same defects.
I strongly suggest purchasing this book from a college bookstore or other reputable source if at all possible.
Difficult Read June 20, 2008
Grad Student
Very difficult read. The authors are not consistent with their terminology and tend to be overly wordy.
 Excellent text I've used for my graduate students December 1, 2007

I am a professor of educational technology. I've used this book for 2 semesters with a graduate students in an educational technology masters program. It was the primary text for a course on the design of online learning environments. Each semester I asked my students in their anonymous course evaluations to give me feedback on this book. There has been almost unanimous praise for this book from students. I have been satisfied with it as well. It is organized logically, moving from the conceptual to the highly practical. Each chapter begins with a set of diverse case examples that create a context for the following content, helping to make it more relevant and tangible to the reader. The book thoroughly cites it's sources including much research. My students used the concepts and guidelines in this book to work on a handful of increasingly complex projects in which they conceptualized and designed online learning modules and environments. The book was a great resource for them. They all felt it was written at an appropriate level for them (my students are mostly working K-12 teachers). I recommend this book.
Very difficult read! February 22, 2007

This was the text for a graduate level online class. I found it difficult to read and understand because of the large amount of verbiage. It read like an in-depth psychology text that in part was what it is. Teaching Online by Draves was a much better book but it lacked the heavy content. It was more on the common sense approach to online teaching.
