Description

The second edition of this leading book offers everything readers need to know in order to make the experience of the distance learner as complete and satisfying as that of the local learner. Here is concise, to-the-point coverage of the foundations of the field and how it came to be dominated by the World Wide Web and the Internet. And here is expansive, practical, hands-on instruction in exactly how to do distance teaching through computer technology, videotape, or simple audio techniques. Increased coverage of online learning provides specifics on designing, delivering, and evaluating online learning in every chapter. Moreover, the authors cover such hard-to-address topics as copyright protection and plagiarism; and offer treatment of multiple instructional models suitable for distance education. For distance teachers and learners.
