Description

This book is a comprehensive guide for literacy teacher educators and professional development trainers who teach and work in online settings. The authors provide tools, techniques, and resources for developing courses, workshops, and other online learning experiences, including blended/hybrid delivery formats that combine face-to-face meetings with online practices. Moving away from traditonal discussions in which technology and delivery systems dominate the conversation, this book focuses on the literacy instructor with techniques for building effective learning communities. The authors outline the unique pedagogical challenges posed by online courses and offer guidance for making decisions about what tools to use for specific instructional purposes. More that simply a "how-to" book, this resource will encourage novice and experienced instructors to extend their thinking and enable online literacy teacher education to grow in positive ways. Book features include: support for those teaching in many different roles, including program coordinators, professors, and adjuncts; a focus on pedagogical innovation as the key to sucess, with concrete examples of instructional and assessment practices; connections to the IRA Standards for Reading Professionals and other national standards for teacher education; and a companion website where online literacy teacher educators can communicate and share resources.
