Developing Web-based Instruction
Planning, designing, managing, and evaluating for results
Elizabeth A Dupuis, editor
Delivering effective web-based instruction is an issue that all librarians now have to consider, particularly if working in an organization that delivers an education programme. If you are responsible for delivering online instruction to users in your library, or if you are considering setting up such a facility for e-learning, then you need this practical, comprehensive book.
An array of talented librarians and educators contribute their perspectives on the current scene, and the text guides you through all the stages needed to create successful web-based instruction in your library. Anyone creating or revising learning modules - be they short online assignments, standalone tutorials or credit-bearing courses that can be delivered over the internet - will find a wealth of information and insight from those who have 'been there, done that' in this key area of development.
The book is divided into three main sections: planning and management; evaluation and assessment; and design and development. The chapters cover:
* scope, timeline and budget
* teams and partners
* audience and stakeholders
* pedagogy and andragogy
* educational technology
* statistics and metrics
* focus groups
* usability testing
* assessment of learning
* goals and objectives
* interactivity
* content organization and development
* site design
* putting content online.
The text is regularly interspersed with overviews and further sources of information, and a useful appendix gives help with how to put a project proposal together.
This book is essential reading for all those involved in delivering online learning in libraries, whether in a technical, design, educational or support role.
