Creating a Sense of Presence in Online Teaching: How to "Be There" for Distance Learners 1st Edition

This was required reading for my online master's class. As an aspiring online educator, I found this book very helpful and even better, easy to follow. The author gives great suggestions and specific details on how to differentiate online instruction and make it interesting for online students. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Boring but informative mandatory book for graduate class. Love Amazon for letting me rent instead of buying, saves the hassle of returning

Solid text, very helpful and useful. Explains both the theoretical approach and the practical application of the theory. Provides good ideas that are practical in most courses.

Online presence is a very important concept to understand for any teacher who wants to transcend distances online. However, it is also a very complex and difficult one to grasp. Very few teacher preparation programs explain how to build effective online presence. Therefore, this book is imperative for anyone who is working or teaching online. It provides a step-by-step guide that allows a teacher to develop his/ her presence not only during the course but before and after it. The book contains very useful handouts, tables and visuals and is jam packed with strategies that can be applied in your classroom today! This book is a MUST HAVE for those who want to suceed in this new educational context.

Good book if you are into this area of study. I've been using it to develop faculty-development curriculum and this series has been very useful.
