Online learning can be so dull--or not!Enter Jenae Cohn and Michael Greer, experienced authors andteachers, who decided it was time to take on the challenge of making online learning more interesting and compellingfor students. So, they met in a Zoom call, contacted Rosenfeld Media, and wrote this book, Design for Learning: UserExperience in Online Teaching and Learning (many Zoom calls later). The book is structured to teach online learning in such a way that anyone can follow its practices and create a dynamic educational presentation. Chapters cover everything fromlearning about your learners and setting learning goals to building connections with learners and giving them feedback. In addition, the authors dive into the nitty-gritty details of creating online courses, including takeaways at the endof each chapter and easy-to-follow examples throughout."I particularly appreciate how thoughtful Jenae and Michael are about considering the experience from the learner's point of view and theemphasis they put on learner agency."--Julie Dirksen, Author, Design for How People LearnTogether, Jenae Cohn and Michael Greer have years of experience designing and producing online courses for students.

In the beginning, I shall indicate my opinions to explain why computer and internet technology will be the best tool to solve any educational challenges as well as I shall recommend how any education organizations can apply this new technology to educate students effectively and efficiently. In generaly, educators think that education means considerably more than just teaching a student to read, write and numbers only. However, nowadays, computers, the internet nd advanced electronic are becoming essential in everyday life and have changes the way information is gathered. So, it brings these questions such as, how is this new technology utilized and managed by teachers to solve any teaching challenges more easily? Will this new technology have an important role to play in widening the resource and knowledge base for all students? Can technology is applied to school to bring teacher education behavior to be improved? Can technology or distance learning education method help schools to raise student number? Can distance learning need increase?

In chapter one, I shall give reasons to explain why education quality and education productivity and online education method have close relationship. I shall indicate what are developed countries and developing countries whose traditional classroom education method's weaknesses and online education method's strengths. Then, I shall bring the cause and effect relationship to explain why excellent online education method can raise student individual learning abilities more easily. In chapter two, I shall explain the reasons why internet channels through online teacher human capital teaching method can affect students who can reduce studying period to graduate fastly. I shall indicate student learning evidences to compare the weaknesses of classroom learning and the strengths of online learning in order to judge whether online teaching method can affect students can reduce studying period to graduate fastly. In chapter three, I shall give evidences to explain why the growth rate of online graduated student number is more than the growth rate of traditional classroom learning graduated student number. In the end, my readers can attempt to make yourself judgement whether online education can assist students to learn more easily to compare to traditional classroom learning method in order to achieve easier graduation.

This book focuses on digital approaches to capacity development, reflecting the greater interest in how digital tools and platforms can be used for capacity development in the 'Global South'. While Covid-19 demonstrated some of the benefits of online learning, the widespread, often uncritical adoption of online tools driven by necessity has left many with an experience of 'emergency online learning'. This book aims to assist in the design of technology-enhanced capacity development by sharing evidence of practices that are principled rather than rushed; inclusive rather than creating new digital divides. Part 1 sets out the main thinking that informs the overall approach and the frameworks that guide practice. Part 2 explores a series of assumptions about technology-enhanced learning (TEL) that are common in the literature and against which data have been tested. It brings new evidence to bear on how TEL can be used more effectively as part of learning and capacity strengthening. Part 3 is designed as a practical guide to walk practitioners through the steps to create relevant, inclusive and sustainable digital learning interventions. Part 4 offers a collection of 16 case studies that illustrate how the principles have been put into practice.

A vision of the future of education in which the classroom experience is distributed across space and time without compromising learning.What if there were a model for learning in which the classroom experience was distributed across space and time--and students could still have the benefits of the traditional classroom, even if they can't be present physically or learn synchronously? In this book, two experts in online learning envision a future in which education from kindergarten through graduate school need not be tethered to a single physical classroom. The distributed classroom would neither sacrifice students' social learning experience nor require massive development resources. It goes beyond hybrid learning, so ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic, and MOOCs, so trendy a few years ago, to reimagine the classroom itself.David Joyner and Charles Isbell, both of Georgia Tech, explain how recent developments, including distance learning and learning management systems, have paved the way for the distributed classroom. They propose that we dispense with the dichotomy between online and traditional education, and the assumption that online learning is necessarily inferior. They describe the distributed classroom's various delivery modes for in-person students, remote synchronous students, and remote asynchronous students; the goal would be a symmetry of experiences, with both students and teachers able to move from one mode to another. With The Distributed Classroom, Joyner and Isbell offer an optimistic, learner-centric view of the future of education, in which every person on earth is turned into a potential learner as barriers of cost, geography, and synchronicity disappear.
