Thorman, J. & Zimmerman, I.K. (2012). The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Designing and Teaching Online Courses. New York: Teachers College Press.
Many new faculty are faced with the challenge of creating and teaching online for the first time. Many established faculty may be looking to develop new online courses, but have not created the course they are to teach. This book is a gift for all. Though written some time ago – it makes no reference to a variety of artificial intelligence or adaptive technologies now widely in use – it is a basic, focused, well-written, step-by-step practical guide. Once you have this book on your desk and start reading, it is difficult to put down because it gets you thinking.
