Review by: Sylvia Currie on Sep. 26, 2011 :
As someone who has worked with faculty to design and develop online courses I recognize so many steps in this book most authors take for granted that people will understand. This book is practical, detailed, thorough, well written, and very well organized. Dr. Delich has researched, and more importantly, USED the tools and techniques she recommends. Suggested resources to learn more are embedded throughout the text, and are very selective. Attention to accessibility throughout the book is very refreshing -- something that is often left out of similar course design resources. Top rating from me! I will recommend this book to faculty, and individuals involved in a support role for years to come.

This is a great resource to have! There are always times that our memory falters when it has been a little while since we performed a task, and this is great to have, especially when we are working on our work at crazy hours when it is not acceptable to ask our technicians on call.

What a fantastic resource.

I have taken a few classes from Dr. Delich, however there are tasks/concepts that I always forget about. Having 24/7 access to this guide is exactly what I needed. This is my 3rd full year as an online instructor. I am very pleased to be learning additional techniques and tips from this guide which are making me a better instructor.

I highly recommend this guide...it is a MUST HAVE for all online instructors and I think it would be very useful for f2f instructors as well.

Thanks again for all that you do Dr. Delich.
