    About this ebook

    Maybe it was an emergency, or your school asked you to go online. Perhaps you volunteered. In any case, welcome to the educational revolution. The good news is that you are not alone, and you do not have to improvise.  Other people have walked the same path and created techniques, tips, and tricks to help you become a better online teacher.

     

    The objective of this book is to share ideas and advice on developing, planning, and teaching distance learning classes successfully. It is not a book about the academic justification for distance learning. Nor is this a book to help you decide whether you should try this technique. You have chosen to do it (or someone decided for you), and you want to do your best. After all, you have a name and a career to protect.
