Empowered at a Distance – How to Build Self-Direction into Remote and Hybrid Learning

How do we move students from passive recipients of content and a Zoom lecture to self-directed, empowered and engaged learners? How do we rethink the roles of teachers and technology in enabling learners to become self-managing, persistent and effective online learners? These challenges are addressed here in direct and clear ways. The book focuses on the idea of the student “owning” their learning and driving their learning agenda. The book is not naïve about the challenges associated with this work and examines the journey that instructors and students need to take together to enable this shift. Practical, clear and focused, the book is well worth reading.
