Description: "This useful resource describes the best practices for designing online programs and courses. Translating research on the learning characteristics of adult university students and their experiences with online learning into practical guidelines, the authors address topics such as program and course planning, design, and delivery; multicultural and gender issues; program evaluation; student evaluation of online teaching; and institutional and program accreditation. The text includes resources such as online course materials and assessment tasks that are culturally responsive and also implement the strategies presented in the book."--Jacket.
