In each chapter, an international expert or team of experts provides an overview of one timely issue in online distance education, summarizing major research on the topic, discussing theoretical insights that guide the research, posing questions and directions for future research, and discussing the implications for distance education practice as a whole. Intended as a primary reference and guide for distance educators, researchers, and policymakers, Online Distance Education addresses aspects of distance education practice that have often been marginalized, including issues of cost and economics, concerns surrounding social justice, cultural bias, the need for faculty professional development, and the management and growth of learner communities. At once soundly empirical and thoughtfully reflective, yet also forward-looking and open to new approaches to online and distance teaching, this text is a solid resource for researchers in a rapidly expanding discipline.-- |cPublisher description. 546 English. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Distance education|xComputer-assisted instruction|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009123556|xResearch. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006576 650 7 Distance education|xComputer-assisted instruction.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/895461 650 7 Research.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1095153 655 0 Electronic book. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Anderson, Terry,|d1950-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n99050158|eeditor. 700 1 Zawacki-Richter, Olaf,|d1972-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/nb2015004928|eeditor. 776 1 |tOnline distance education.:|dEdmonton : AU Press, 2014. |kIssues in distance education series|kIssues in distance education series|w(CaOONL)20139054138 830 0 Issues in distance education series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009129623 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=810324|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
