Free book on online learning

book coverIf you would like some tips on online moderation then you may want to download the book ‘Online Learning’ while it is still free.

Every cloud has a silver lining so they say. My websites were mostly out of action in the last quarter of 2014 and so I started posting on Linked In on the theme of Online Learning. This was well received but I haven’t found the secret of how to conveniently refer to Linked In posts. Therefore I decided to collate the posts into one document which is now available free on iPad if you have the iBooks app. You can also access a pdf version here.

The starting point for the series of posts was that I was asked to give a short talk on the state of the art of online learning for a small conference event in October. This led me to reflect on the experiences I have had over the last twenty years and with diverse organisations across the globe. The result is a personal account of what I have found works.

To be clear, this book is not about MOOCs and not about self-directed automated elearning packages. It is about facilitating learning online through interaction with a tutor and course colleagues.

The book is free for the moment.
