The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn
Comprehensive, practical, and user-friendly, this fieldbook is crafted by two experienced online instructors detailing the history and proper methodology for distance learning. It contains vital information an online instructor needs to know--from designing a course, to using technology, to assessing students, and more. Discover how to use Web-based instruction to motivate students and produce positive learning outcomes, get teaching tips from seasoned online instructors, and find helpful Internet resources and sample teaching material. Ideal for educators already teaching online as well as those interested in pursuing online teaching. I have been participating since last summer in the Learning Resources Network (LERN) program for certification as an online instructor. I have taken four courses for this certification so far and have read four textbooks on online instruction. By far 'A Fieldbook for Community College Online Instructors' offers the most practical and overall helpful information in one book of those I have read.
