Description
Book SynopsisEFFECTIVE ONLINE TEACHING: TRAINING MANUAL
Designed to accompany the book Effective Online Teaching, the Training Manual offers instructors a handy resource that follows the main text and includes overviews, readings, discussion questions, hypothetical scenarios, activities, assignments, and scripts that can be used in face-to-face training or plugged into an online course management system. The companion website contains plug-and-play narrated presentations for each chapter of Effective Online Teaching, as well as handouts, templates, and PowerPoint slides.
Tina Stavredes has done something sorely needed in the online teaching world ?she has successfully combined solid theory and research with the practical application of instructor training. Both the book and the training manual are a ''must'' for any online education organization. Bravo!
