Читать книгу Online Learning For Dummies - Susan Manning - Страница 8

When I think of the sixty online instructors that I have supervised since 1996, at the top of the list are Dr. Susan Manning and Kevin Bowersox-Johnson. Both are award-winning online instructors with over twenty years of experience designing and teaching online courses and certificates using a consistent application of proven best practices in online learning.

Above all, the authors understand how to coach and mentor newbie online students in becoming proficient online learners.

As a Coordinator of Online Professional Development, I have watched technology tools dramatically improve and advance. Yet I continue to hear instructors and trainers say the same thing today as in past years: Instructors wish remote learners understood the expectations of learning online and had a step-by-step success guide.

This book is a valuable compilation of lessons learned and provides a resource for new virtual learners to navigate the complexities of online learning. It answers questions about how to make the experience produce meaningful learning that sticks for life. Also, it includes how to locate legitimate online training and avoid scams.

Following the steps in this book will help result in the completion of an online micro-course, boot camp, certificate, virtual corporate sales training, or employee onboarding, as well as a full degree program.

Yes, you can Google and get the same stuff online, but this book provides specific strategies to leverage learning now and in the future as adults find themselves changing careers and retooling for the future.

Online Learning For Dummies is a book that will guide and motivate you to continue learning conveniently from your tablet or laptop or even your smartphone!
