Thanks to all readers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions! Susan Ko is currently at work...and at work... on the 4th edition which will appear in late 2016 or early 2017. Therefore for the time being she is no longer actively moderating this site. Meanwhile, have a look at the book series for which Susan serves as editor, Routledge's Best Practices in Online Teaching and Learning--see https://www.routledge.com/series/BPOTL
Thanks again to all readers of Teaching Online!

Susan,
ReplyDeleteWe've been using your book for our Teaching Online workshop for the past 5 years. I'm looking forward to reviewing the 3rd edition and am excited to see this blog. We just ordered 20 copies for our current workshop. I hope your readers take advantage of this resource!

Thanks, Kathy. I am hoping to hear from readers about how they are using the book and of course, any questions they may have...
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI've been using your book for about 10 years in an online course I teach to help faculty transition from teaching in-person to teaching online. I based the design of my course on your book. I've received positive responses from faculty---they love your book. I'm looking forward to seeing what's new in your 3rd edition.
Best regards,
Patricia Delich
I've been teaching online for several years. I used the 1st edition of your book for a faculty workshop several years ago. I recently acquired a copy of the 3rd edition. A colleague and I will be using it as a required text for a course we are teaching graduate students how to teach online.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading the 3rd edition. I wanted to comment that one activity I have been using for a couple of years now as an icebreaker in an online class is to have the students create an Animoto, using my educator account. I set specific requirements as to what they are to include in their Animoto. They then post their Animoto in our LMS (which is Sakai) and comment on what they learned about each other, what they had in common, etc. about a couple of their classmates.
Students love Animoto and frequently will use it for other projects. I recently had a student in a F2F education class use Animoto to present a history lesson.
Thanks for all your practical guidelines and references in your text. We plan to provide the resource URL to our students.
