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
2 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
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.

Book is designed cheaply, but the content is priceless!

I used this book throughout my entire Master's Program in Instructional Design and Development. It is a great resource for online learning, especially when designing constructivist learning environment. I do agree that the production quality is really cheap and most of the pages do look like photocopies, however my book has held up through 2 years of courses (and I reference it often). I would highly recommend this book for its content, if you can get over the photocopy-looking pages.
Cheapo!

I haven't read the whole book yet, actually I'm not even through Chapter 1, but my book is already falling apart! First of all, the pages look like they were copied using an old, crappy xerox machine (the one at the school where I teach would've done better)! Then, I started reading the book for my class and the pages started falling out! I'm not even through the first chapter! It might be a great book (can't tell yet), but I am VERY dis-satisfied with the quality of the book!
