Everything you need to know about the revolutionary breakthrough of distance education and its giant leap forward is in this book. Chapters 1-2 answer questions many librarians have about the current strategies and techniques for managing classrooms on the Internet, how users can best benefit from classrooms accessible from home, and how e-mail and instant messaging help to expand the level of communication between students, educators, and librarians. Chapters 3-4 explain how the librarian is the key contributor to any e-learning experience, and where you go on the Internet to create virtual courses of study and resources. Chapters 5-6 focus on the needs of distance education students and librarians and the common mistakes that beginners make when teaching or participating in classes online. Learn all about what's out there: best models now in use, pitfalls to avoid, brand new techniques being tested, and tips from successful teachers.
