DESCRIPTION:
"For Selling as "New", Extremely Poor Quality" according to Linda D. Peterson. This book is being sold as "New", and for the price the print quality is horrible. It should really be sold for $10.00 - $15.00 at the most. I'm not sure of the QA policy set in place, but there is none for this book. Very disappointed..

For graduate-level courses in Distance Education/Distance Learning/Web-based Learning/Online Learning/e-Learning/Distributed Learning. Using a flexible yet systematic instructional design framework that enables even novice teachers to design, plan, and implement customized instructional environments, this text thoroughly addresses how course management systems and other online learning technologies can be used to design learner-centered environments that actively engage students. This text is born of the authors' extensive experience in using technology in online/distributed learning contexts, and based on the principles of learning as a social process.. This practical volume details the journey of online learning from theory to practice
