Best Practices for Mentoring in Online Programs is a
straightforward guide to creating meaningful, lasting mentoring
programs for faculty or students enrolled in fully or predominantly
online programs. Faculty and student mentoring programs are
proliferating in higher education, including peer mentoring,
group/network mentoring, and career mentoring, making it all the
more important that administrators and instructors incorporate
research-based best practices for effective and successful
implementation. Divided into two sections - the first on mentoring
programs for faculty, the second on programs for students - this
volume engages a broad variety of mentoring models and contexts
across disciplines, paying special attention to the effective
strategies and common problems associated with online mentoring.
The book addresses the practical aspects of setting up, running,
structuring, and evaluating online mentoring programs, along with
the recruitment, selection, compensation, and recognition of
mentors. Case studies and interviews bring to life the challenges
and opportunities of mentorship, including how to resolve
discussions pertaining to difficult or controversial issues, while
a wealth of resources, templates, and checklists will help
administrators and faculty take concrete steps towards implementing
or developing programs tailored to their needs and institutional
contexts.

Best Practices in Designing Courses with Open Educational Resources
is a practical guide that assists faculty and institutions looking
to adopt and implement open educational resources (OER) and to
foster meaningful, effective learning experiences through the
course design process. Chapters loaded with tips, case examples,
and guidance from practitioners advise readers through each step
necessary for sustainable OER initiatives, from preliminary
planning and course redesign through teaching, learning, and
faculty development. Written by two authors with direct experience
in training higher education professionals to use OER, this is a
comprehensive resource for faculty, instructional designers, course
developers, librarians, information technologists, and
administrators hoping to rethink and refresh their curricula by
moving beyond traditional textbooks. An authors' website expands
the book with resources, templates, and examples of implementation
models, including faculty development workshop OER materials that
can be adopted by readers.
