Summary

Summary

Teaching and Learning Online,nbsp;Volume 2,nbsp;provides practical advice from academics, researchers, practitioners and designers who are currently engaged in defining, creating and delivering the increasingly important world of online learning.nbsp; This powerful guide avoids trends in technology, instead focusing on the articulation and development of the learning theories that underpin the use of technology.nbsp;

Topics covered include:

* Theory that informs practice - emerging models and understanding from academia;
* Research - new understandings of learning, collaborative sense-making, and learning preferences;
* The Practitioner view - real examples from around the world of ground-breaking developments in online learning that are transforming education, adult learning and corporate training;
* Guidance for designers and producers - pedagogical advice and skills for a range of people who may have had little exposure to the body of knowledge surrounding learning design;
* Looking to the future - what to expect in the next 5 to 10 years and how to prepare to take full advantage of the opportunities that an increasingly connected society will provide for learner-managed learning.

The secondnbsp;volume of this bestselling guide addresses key gaps in the available literature including the inequality of access to technologically enabled learning and cutting-edge design issues and pedagogies that will take us into the next decade of eLearning and future Web 3.0+ approaches.
