SocProf reviewed Small Teaching Online by James M. Lang
Review of 'Small Teaching Online' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I picked up this book because the original Small Teaching volume was so insightful to me. Needless to say, this one is not a revolutionary to me as the original one. It's a bit more shallow since all the principles that were more thoroughly covered in the original are just simply mentioned without too much detail. To be fair, the author does recommend reading the original Small Teaching before getting into this one. So, this is more a sequel than a stand-alone book.
Otherwise, I got a few useful tips that are easy to implement and use. But I suspect this book will be most useful to more novice online course designers and teachers.
Disclaimer: I still find no value to discussion board that all these designers love so much. So, I did kinda skip the sections pertaining to that.
