Description & Coverage
Description:

Despite the considerable, growing interest in online education, most studies have focused only on the students' perspective. Merely a handful of studies have attempted to address the teachers' perspectives and little has been published on the online teaching experience itself.

Expectations and Demands in Online Teaching: Practical Experiences offers a better understanding of how teachers experience the online environment by exploring various dimensions of online teaching, including class preparation, process effectiveness and quality, and technology utilization. The book assists educational institution administrators supporting online education improve their understanding of how teachers experience online teaching, and of the issues these teachers face in their teaching.

Reviews & Statements

"What gives value to this book is not only the fact that it sheds light into the lesser known territory of teaching online from the teachers' perspectives, but more so the invaluable quotes coming from the interviewed subjects."

– Sorin Walter Gudea, University of Phoenix, USA

"This is a very useful book to anyone who teaches online. The book's particular value is in describing real and diverse personal experiences in online teaching, and very valuable guidance on how to deliver effective online courses."

– Dr. Thomas Acton, National University of Ireland, Ireland

I found this book to be an interesting mix of faculty viewpoints about online teaching. I enjoyed the elaborate and well-researched content.

– Dr. Catheryn Cheal, Oakland University, USA

This book is quite useful to anyone dealing or planning to deal with online teaching. Overall, it proves its name by providing a real insight in the form of practical experiences related to expectations and demands of online teaching!

– Ramesh Chandra Sharma, Regional Director, IGNOU Regional Centre, Pune
