5.0 out of 5 stars The Best So Far !, September 11, 2001
By Jim Formosa (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
I have been involved in distance education for several years. As a person who teaches other faculty to develop Web-based courses as well as being a developer myself, I am constantly on the look out for good books. This, in my opinion, is the best I have seen in the field so far. In addition to being a technologist, I am also a specialist in adult education. There have been other books that are good in that there is one or another chapter that contains good materials. This book is a must for the beginning Web developer, particulalry if you are interested in pedagogical issues and learner-centered instruction.
The chapter dealing with JavaScript is excellent. It is a good introduction to the use of this tool for including student interactivity. What I particulalry like about it is that a non-programmer can use it to get up and running. It is not so in-depth that the average faculty member cannot use it. It leaves out the high-end bells and whistles and yet it allows a person to accomplish something meaningful.
Finally, the references that are included are very good. If you want to cover the topics indepth, you are pointed in a good direction.
