to successfully facilitate learning in the new context of on-line
distance education." Michael G. Moore, Pennsylvania State
University and Editor, The American Journal of Distance

""Business and Learning have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship in
our culture. The pace of change, however, has created separation
between these two vital elements. The "Handbook of Online Learning"
showcases the latest thinking and applications in learning
delivery, and offers real promise that the gap is being bridged." "

who know what the issues are: How are people engaged in teaching
and learning at a distance "present" to one another? How do you
create a community in the class? How can a teacher deal with an
obstreperous student? What are the teaching/learning environments
in universities and corporations as they affect distance education?
The essays in this book inhabit the border where the idea of
distance education meets the reality. The give practical advice and
provide examples informed by both theory and experience." Stanley
