Online courses are a hot topic in education just at the moment.
Many institutions think they can attract more students and funding by simply putting courses onto their web sites and waiting for the recruitment graph to shoot up immediately. Unfortunately, not many of them have either the experience or support systems to offer tutors the training necessary for this new type of delivery. This book has been written by someone who was both a student and a tutor on the course, so it certainly comes with the benefit of first-hand experience. It starts with a quick survey of the advantages of online learning, then describes the Internet and how it might be used by a few typical students. You would imagine that this covers everything the new recruit would need.
