Rating: Summary: New Educational Culture via OnLine Classrooms Review: This book is essential reading for any institution that has created (or is considering creating) on-line training or educational facilities. The information in this book will assist in avoiding typical obstacles, enhance the educational experience, and create a solid community in the on-line environment. This book summed up so much of what we have experienced that I am ordering more copies to circulate to all of our on-line instructors.

Rating: Summary: Big Mac of a book: high calories--low nutrition Review: This book is indeed 'pedagogically sound'; the trouble is: it likes the sound of its own voice, far too much, and plods on around the houses for far too long. It is a Big Mac of a book: high calories--low nutrition. I wasted money buying it, don't you make the same mistake. Buy something shorter, less cack-handed, and trendy.
