From WikiEducator
Invitation to contribute to a Collaborative Book!
The first edition, Education for a Digital World: Advice, Guidelines, and Effective Practice from Around the Globe, has been published by the Commonwealth of Learning and is available to download from their website.
The creation of this book employed a unique interactive collaborative research model, a forming relationships model, the sharing of ideas to produce new thinking model.
It contains a comprehensive collection of strategies and tools for teaching effectively online, based on the principles of learning as a social process. Practical advice, real-life examples, case studies and other useful, concise information supply in-depth perspectives. The development of the book demonstrates the powerful opportunity afforded by online interactive collaboration. With almost 50 contributors from around the globe representing education, research, administration and business, it has a global perspective.
We are now working on a 2nd Edition. The tentative title is Innovations in Education, but it could become Education for a Digital World, Edition 2. It will be published by CoL to coincide with PCF6 in India 2010.
