Courses and programs being delivered at a distance require a unique set of professional competencies. Whether using synchronous or asynchronous methods of instruction, systematic instructional design can help stimulate motivation, increase interaction and social presence, and authenticate learning outcomes. Principles of adult learning, including self-directed and student-centered learning approaches are emphasized in this Advanced Methods in Distance Education: Applications and Practices for Educators, Administrators and Learners . It is designed to be theory to practice, with readers gaining the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful in teaching or training using technology-mediated instruction. Major sections include: Foundations of Teaching and Learning at a Distance, Adult Learning, Instructional Design, Technology Knowledge and Skills, Administrative Issues, and Future Directions.

Industry Reviews

"This textbook fulfills a primary need for a sophisticated, integrated yet practical resource for professionals involved in distance education. It is both theoretically grounded yet broadly appealing and accessible - an excellent example of how 'one-size' can fit both the professor and the practitioner." Dr. Janet Poley, CEO, ADEC; "Dooley, Linder, and Dooley have composed an elegant text on the design and management of distance training suitable for academics and industry personnel alike. The authors bring first-hand experience to the table that results in an interesting, informative, and helpful text on the subject. The book details specific processes, case studies, and activities that will allow the reader to move from chapter to chapter, building skills so at the conclusion of the text one could indeed design and manage a distance education program. This book is a must have for all who work in distance education." Dr. Kathleen D. Kelsey, Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State University"
