This book focuses on online pedagogy and the challenges and
opportunities incumbent in the transformation of a face-to-face
college course. It is intended as a resource and support for new
online teachers - a source of ideas and strategies from a variety
of disciplinary perspectives as well as pedagogical perspectives -
and for those experienced in the online environment. The book meets
the needs of faculty new to online teaching by providing them a
wide variety of perspectives on the online transition - e.g.
pedagogical, multidisciplinary, class size and level - by faculty
with varying degrees of previous experience who have recently made
the transition from face-to-face to online. Their advice and
recollections offer a fresh, contemporary perspective on the
subject. For administrators and faculty experienced with online
instruction, the collection works as a resource for ideas intended
to sustain the vibrancy and efficacy of the online environment.
Taking Your Course Online includes the experiences of a cohort of
faculty that responded to a University - wide call for faculty
interested in developing online courses for summer session. This
group participated in a series of workshops that addressed various
aspects of developing online courses and online pedagogy. All of
the authors taught their new online course over a subsequent
10-week summer session, and many of them have done so subsequently
as well. Their experiences have great currency in the ever-changing
world of online teaching. Because the collection represents the
work of teachers exposed to best practices and many discussions
concerning rigor, assessment, and accountability, it provides
support for the viability of online teaching/learning in an
environment frequently plagued by doubts about its effectiveness.
Practitioners using this book will learn how to turn their
face-to-face course into an online course successfully, understand
best practices for transitioning courses/online teaching, minimize
errors and avoid pitfalls in the transition process, and maximize
learning. Faculty development professionals can use this book as a
resource to teach faculty from a wide range of disciplines how to
transition from the actual to the virtual classroom. Administrators
such as deans and program chairs will gain useful insights into
ways to think about taking entire programs online, as well as how
to guide faculty in their development of pedagogical skills
pertinent to online learning.
