This is an essential resource for anyone designing or facilitating 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.
This title is loaded with current information about emerging technologies (e.g., simulations, podcasts, wikis, blogs) and the Web 2.0. With a useful model, more than 100 online activities, the latest information on emerging technologies, hundreds of quickly accessible Web resources, and relevance to all types and ages of learners--Empowering Online Learning is a book whose time has come.

The Web of Learning
Given that you have decided to read at least part of this book, chances are you have explored online learning and become enthralled by its tools, resources, and overall educational potential. Other times you probably have experienced extensive frustration and hesitation. As we mentioned in the Preface to this book, we have named the place you have entered many times "the Web of Learning." We use this phrase in an attempt to help online educators, learners, and policymakers focus on what is available or potentially available online for learning instead of on the technologies. Within the Web of Learning metaphor, educational professionals can begin to design models and frameworks that can clarify and simplify online educational possibilities. Our hope is that more innovative, engaging, and exciting pedagogy will ensue.
The Web of Learning contains a plethora of educationally relevant and continually evolving resources, tools, and learning materials, many of which are increasingly open and free to the world.

Any of these resources and materials can be embedded in online courses
