Reviews

Ricevuto and McLaughlin provide the rationale behind what it means to be a virtual instructor in every facet that the role entails. They describe the many hats that a virtual instructor must wear in order to design, build, facilitate, and evaluate a collaborative, engaging virtual exeperience. Each chapter is divided into two sections. The first part of each chapter explores the related roles or facets of a virtual instructor, and the second section provides tips, tools, and templates to help the instructor in each one of these roles. This book is a veritable decision tree for the new or 'not-so-new' virtual instructor that includes helpful definitions, appropriate questions to ask oneself along the way, and all of the tips, tools, and templates you could ask for to make teaching online fun and satisfying for the instructor, and interesting and engaging for the student. It is an essential tool to have in the virtual instructor's toolbox for today's challenging online teaching and learning environment.--From the Foreword by Lillian Nave
