online learning. It introduces an easy, practical model (R2D2: read,
reflect, display, and do) that will show online educators how to deliver
content in ways that benefit all types of learners (visual, auditory,
observational, and kinesthetic) from a wide variety of backgrounds and
skill levels. With a solid theoretical foundation and concrete guidance
and examples, this book can be used as a handy reference, a professional
guidebook, or a course text. The authors intend for it to help online
instructors and instructional designers as well as those contemplating
such positions design, develop, and deliver learner-centered online instruction.
Empowering Online Learning has 25 unique activities for each
phase of the R2D2 model as well as summary tables helping you pick and
choose what to use whenever you need it. Each activity lists a
description, skills addressed, advice, variations, cost, risk, and
time index, and much more.
