Item Description

This book, ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS: Prepare, Design, and Teach Your Online Course offers an easy-to-follow guide that is based on a model developed from experience with hundreds of online courses. The authors are members of The Concord Consortium, a nonprofit educational technology lab dedicated to improving teaching practices through the appropriate integrated use of technology in the classroom.

Based on their experience, the authors offer the Concord Consortium e-Learning Model — which provides a working overview of online teaching — and seventeen essential elements that take you step-by-step through everything you’ll need to know for successful online teaching.

The essential elements are presented in three sections — prepare, design, and teach — that will take you from the starting gate to the finishing line, offering complete assistance for the new online teacher and new techniques and tips for those who have taught online before.

With tips addressing everything from technology to student assessments, from online community building to collaborative teaming, and from scheduling and pacing to facilitating online discussions, the authors have the virtual classroom covered.

5 stars Glad I found it! 2010-01-06

Reviewer: Tricia

I was very glad to discover this little book and adopted it as the text for a faculty training course I teach at a community college. It is technology independent, making it ideal for teaching the principles of online course development. I've been using this book for several years now, and although it's a few years old, good information design and online teaching practices don't really change, so it hasn't become outdated.

5 stars Great training for online instructors 2009-04-03

Reviewer: A. Mead

We use this as a text when training instructors to be designers in online courses. It is a great reference.

3 stars A Little Disappointed But Basic Info There 2008-07-05

Reviewer: Sharon Smith

Perhaps I was a little hard on this book because I am an experienced online instructor, but I was a bit disappointed in the content. The copyright is 2002, and that may be some of it as well with the ever changing technological world. I found the basic things were included but was hoping to gain additional insight in setting up courses and teaching online. The "essential elements" are there but pretty much bare bones. The entire book is less than 100 pages if you don't count the appendices. This book is probably good for the beginner with no idea where to start with an online course, but I would not recommend it for someone like me who was looking for additional insight after having some experience teaching online.
