Reviews & Statements

Specialists in online education assemble recent research into the social and emotional aspects of online education that serve to enhance the experience of both the online learner and the online teacher across a range of contexts including higher education, commerce, and government. They cover researching distance and online education; teaching online; professional development journeys of online educators; and attitudes, expectations, and experiences within distance education. Among the topics are foundational theory: a new conceptualization of relevant ideas, showing a human and professional face to the world: an electronic portfolio design strategy for a sense of self, integrative course design and pedagogy to humanize online learning: a case study, managing student expectations: using online quizzes in university subjects, and with the likeness and voice of mentor: mentoring presence in online distance learning.
