| dc.description | When this book first appeared in 1999, online courses were a new and novel way of teaching and learning. The World Wide Web, as we know it now, had only been in existence for a few years. Few course management systems existed, and the only books available on the topic of online learning focused mainly on how to set up a Web page by using HTML, devoting little or no attention to how to teach online. As frustrated as our colleagues with the lack of literature on this topic, we set out to explore the territory of online teaching and not focus on the technology involved with course delivery. Our book was one of the first to address the issue of online teaching. Even so, given that so few instructors were actually teaching online at the time, it took a while before the book was “discovered.” Once it was, however, it quickly became a popular text, and we were truly humbled by its success. We were two online instructors who were relatively new to the field ourselves and who were interested in sharing what we had learned thus far with our colleagues. We never imagined that the book would lead us to working with faculty all over the world, training them to develop good courses and to teach effectively online. Nor did we expect to continue to write about this area, as we have. | en_us |
