Better Online Pedagogy

Here are two options to become a better online educator:

1. You could yourself take an online class, perhaps on The Flipped Classroom, Teaching with Twitter, or Learning Online - all you need is a few hundred spare $$$, perhaps using an IPI or SoTL Grant?
2. Or, you could just read a book, for example the new Teaching Online A Guide to Theory, Research, and Practice by Erin Dolan. Before you buy, consider this review or swing-by and take a look at my copy.

For a more critical view of online education and education technology in-general consider the essays The Golden Lasso of Education Technology or Is It Time to Give Up on Computers in Schools? by Audrey Watters. Or, read her book The Monsters of Education Technology.
