Education for a Digital World

Education for a Digital World - Advice, Guidelines, and Effective Practice from Around the Globe, is available as a book or a free 13 MB PDF from COL and BCcampus. "Education for a Digital World contains a comprehensive collection of proven strategies and tools for effective online teaching, based on the principles of learning as a social process." It's obvious that I don't work much in this academic field as I only recognized one of the dozens of authors. However, I noticed many references to George Siemens, Jay Cross and Stephen Downes. There seems to be a wealth of information and it's worth the download. I found the "Learning Objectives" at the beginning of each Chapter a bit condescending though. The abstracts are much more informative. -HJ Commonwealth of Learning and BCcampus, Commonwealth of Learning, July 1, 2008.
