Faculty Guide for Moving Teaching and Learning to the Web, Second Edition

Five years have passed since Judith V. Boettcher and Rita-Marie Conrad teamed up to write the immensely popular Faculty Guide for Moving Teaching and Learning to the Web. But five years in the arena of distance learning, hybrid courses, and web enhancements for teaching and learning seem more like five decades, given the technological advances—and five minutes, given the pace of change in technology, education, the workforce, and the world.

Now, Boettcher and Conrad have returned to reveal the latest tools, the best ways to create a successful online course, and a glimpse of the future for online teaching and learning. The second edition of the Faculty Guide for Moving Teaching and Learning to the Web provides faculty and administrators with practical guidelines for implementing web-based learning in postsecondary institutions and features chapters on technology, learning theory, and instructional design. Stories told by faculty who have taken the plunge into web-based instruction—as well as straightforward descriptions of solutions to typical first-time challenges—make this book even more of a must-have than ever for postsecondary instructors.

The authors treat the subject with plain talk, approachable explanations, and good humor, a combination sure to make this sequel just as instructive and entertaining as the first version.
