Review
“Collaborating Online eloquently explains the central role that community and collaboration play in fostering student engagement online. Palloff and Pratt also offer faculty a rich collection of practical strategies—ideas that are straightforward to implement. It is the best book I have read to date on the topic.”
--Gail Matthews-DeNatale, senior instructional designer, Academic Technology, Simmons College

“This book was an aha! experience for me. After all these years, I finally gained a blueprint for assessing collaborative learning effectively and fairly. I also kept nodding in agreement as I read the book: Palloff and Pratt present numerous practical examples of what an online classroom should be like.”
--Karen Hodges, vice president for learning, NorthWest Arkansas Community College
“Palloff and Pratt, the distinguished online learning authorities, have done it again with their latest book, Collaborating Online. This is must-reading for all faculty, instructional designers, and academic administrators interested in improving student retention and success in online courses.”
--Jack A. Chambers, director, program development for instructional technology, Florida Community College at Jacksonville

A Handbook for Online Students and Teachers,

This review is from: Collaborating Online: Learning Together in Community (Jossey-Bass Guides to Online Teaching and Learning) (Paperback)
With today's lifestyle, more and more students are opting to study online. This text is for the teacher who wants to teach online. It is more or less a handbook of setting up and running an online class. I would recoemmend this text to anyone who wants to teach on online class or wants to be a student for an online class. Both teachers and students can benefit from this book.

I am using this book for a course in Fostering Online Learning Communities and I love it. It is an easy read, very well organized, authoritative, and full of useful tips despite the limited research on this emerging topic. Well worth the small price.
