From the Back Cover
Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application is based on the principles of learning as a social process. It details a journey from theory to practice, informing the design of powerful and engaging online learning environments. A consistent theme in this book is the interaction between pedagogical models, instructional strategies, and learning technologies. This process is embedded in a flexible, yet systematic and integrative instructional design framework that enables the reader to envision, plan for, and implement customized instructional designs for online learning.
Features of this text:- Three-part organization: Part I offers theory, research, and pedagogy as groundwork leading to Part II, which provides specific instructional design methods and strategies. Part III discusses the history and future of instructional technologies and gives readers the tools and techniques with which to select the appropriate e-Learning delivery applications.
- Authentic scenarios related to the design, development, and implementation of online learning in higher education contexts, schools, and corporate settings are provided at the beginning of each chapter, providing real-world relevance to the chapter content.
- Learning activities at the end of each chapter engage students in applying online learning concepts and strategies in real-world contexts. For Chapters 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9, these learning activities are completed on the interactive companion website at www.prenhall.com/dabbagh, where students browse interactive tables, download PDF files, and examine an array of examples of instructional contexts and cases for analysis.

A poor quality textbook,

This review is from: Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application (Paperback)
The book I received has a poor binding, and the pages appear to be photocopied. Text is difficult to read, and images that were obviously originally in color are only black-and-white blurs. Amazon.com sent me a replacement copy, but it had the same defects.
I strongly suggest purchasing this book from a college bookstore or other reputable source if at all possible.

This review is from: Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application (Paperback)
I used this book throughout my entire Master's Program in Instructional Design and Development. It is a great resource for online learning, especially when designing constructivist learning environment. I do agree that the production quality is really cheap and most of the pages do look like photocopies, however my book has held up through 2 years of courses (and I reference it often). I would highly recommend this book for its content, if you can get over the photocopy-looking pages.

This review is from: Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application (Paperback)
I haven't read the whole book yet, actually I'm not even through Chapter 1, but my book is already falling apart! First of all, the pages look like they were copied using an old, crappy xerox machine (the one at the school where I teach would've done better)! Then, I started reading the book for my class and the pages started falling out! I'm not even through the first chapter! It might be a great book (can't tell yet), but I am VERY dis-satisfied with the quality of the book!
