Online Education Policy and Practice examines the past, present, and future of networked learning environments and the changing role of faculty within them. As digital technologies in higher education increasingly enable blended classrooms, collaborative assignments, and wider student access, an understanding of the creation and ongoing developments of these platforms is needed more than ever. By investigating the history of online education, the rise and critique of MOOCs, the mainstreaming of social media, mobile devices, gaming in instruction, and more, this expansive book outlines a variety of potential scenarios likely to become realities in higher education over the next decade.
"Every so often, a remarkable piece of work appears that contextualizes a cultural phenomenon for its historical relevance, contemporary status, and future trajectory. This book does precisely that for online education in a clear and unambiguous fashion. "
--Charles Dziuban, Director of the Research Initiative for Teaching Effectiveness at the University of Central Florida, USA
"Dr. Picciano accurately captures the history of online learning and provides fundamental context by situating online learning in the overall higher education landscape. This book is a must-read and a trusted resource for any higher education leader or faculty member."
--Eric Fredericksen, Associate Vice President for Online Learning and Associate Professor in Educational Leadership, University of Rochester, USA
"Picciano puts online education in the context of academic mission, outlines the progressive path the use of technology to teach has taken, and reminds us that change and adaptation are keys to survival. This book will be pulled from your shelf often as a reference and resource."
--Mary Niemiec, Associate Vice President for Distance Education and Director of University of Nebraska Online Worldwide, University of Nebraska, USA
