Learner Centered Theory and Practice in Distance Education: Cases from Higher Education

Examining the design of distance education programs, 19 chapters consider issues of theory, pedagogy, design, assessment, practice, collaboration, and faculty development. Eight programs are discussed in depth, with presentations reflecting insider perspectives, the observations of outside experts, and transcripts from open discussions. Concluding chapters assess policy implications. The chapters represent presentations and dialogues from a symposium in Pacific Grove, California. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
