The book identifies a set of validated competencies and performance statements, with supporting explanation and data to inform and equip online learners with the critical attitudes, knowledge and skills for successful learning in online and/or blended learning settings. The work also enables online education providers (e.g., instructors, course designers, programme administrators, scholars) to better understand learner needs in order to design and deliver online education products and services best suited to learners. Supplementing a large number of anecdotally-based "how to" books published for those engaged in online education, this volume offers a definitive set of 14 competencies and 75 performance statements (that demonstrate those competencies). Validated by systematic research and input from over 1,000 online users and providers worldwide, this work should impact the quality of learning and teaching at both the individual and organisational levels, involved in online education.
Written for teachers, trainers, and instructional designers --
anyone who is responsible for designing or preparing instruction --
this book begins with one basic premise: individual differences
mediate learning at all levels and in all situations. That is, some
learners find it easier or more difficult to learn some skills or
to learn from certain forms of instruction because they vary in
terms of aptitude, cognitive styles, personality, or learning
styles. This volume describes most of the major differences in a
readable and accessible way and demonstrates how to design various
forms of instruction and predict the ease with which learners will
acquire different skills. Most books that discuss any learner
differences focus on those that characterize special education
populations, whereas this book focuses on normal learners.

The Handbook of Design in Educational Technology provides up-to-date, comprehensive summaries and syntheses of recent research pertinent to the design of information and communication technologies to support learning. Readers can turn to this handbook for expert advice about each stage in the process of designing systems for use in educational settings; from theoretical foundations to the challenges of implementation, the process of evaluating the impact of the design and the manner in which it might be further developed and disseminated. The volume is organized into the following four sections: Theory, Design, Implementation, and Evaluation. The more than forty chapters reflect the international and interdisciplinary nature of the educational technology design research field.
