| Publisher Description: This collection of research by Adventist online educators will be useful to many online educators, including those interested in the intersection of faith and online learning, and online learning in faith communities. This research spans four major areas of online delivery: (1) the pursuit of Adventist distinctiveness and the Adventist experience within online delivery, applicable to all those considering the connection between the mission of an institution and it's online delivery; (2) the empowering and enabling of students, staff, and faculty for advising, monitoring, and resourcing quality online experiences; (3) the power of technology to support collaboration among our institutions, our faculty, our teams; and (4) the supports, training, and methods needed for the effectiveness of online delivery.If you are an administrator, online program director, or teach in an online program, this book will serve as a professional resource that can help ensure that programs offered effectively meet the needs of students while supporting and extending the school's mission. This resource is a must-read for every educator engaged in delivering online education.Faith-Ann McGarrellEditor, The Journal of Adventist Education(R)While the book realizes its own potential as "uniquely Adventist," readers outside of this tradition are likely to find practical value for applying in their own contexts. The contributions of authors from across the globe offer reflections of diverse geographic settings from which any online educator is likely to benefit.Barb M.
