If 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.
