Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Great Disappointment
Review: This book provides only a superficial look at the complexity of teaching online groups. The 147 tips are not organized in any fashion, and most of them are just plain old common sense.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Great Disappointment
Review: This is a book with a promising title and little else. The opening chapter suggests that the book is intended for experienced teachers who are new to the online environment. Consequently, readers are led to expect useful tips that will help them translate their classroom experience to the Web. But instead readers will find revelations such as these:
"You can create quiz questions that are true-false, matching, multiple choice, completion and short answer, and essay." (page 40) Really? What news!
"Evaluate Your Learners" (Tip 82, page 38) Indeed! What a concept! Actually find out what your students know!
As Fred Gailey, the attorney defending Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 34th Street" told the judge when he offered some letters in evidence of Santa's identity, "I have further exhibits, but I hesitate to produce them."
A teacher with the most modest experience can open this book at random and find such [content] on any page.
I hope that these comments help someone else ...


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good resource
Review: This little book does exactly what the title says. The authors give tips -- some common and some not so common - to help teachers involved in online learning. It is a great little reference.
