Beyond Lectures: Engaging Distance Learning for Pilates Teacher Training (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953891365)

Online lectures are boring! It does not matter whether a lecture is live or pre-recorded, students who must sit and listen to long lectures have little opportunity for engagement. They might meet contact hour requirements, but students in Pilates teacher training deserve more. Beyond Lectures was written to give instructors tools to reimagine and innovate online instruction in Pilates teacher training. It was written following standards and best practices in vocational education. Beyond Lectures provides an overview of instructional formats, online learning tools, and administrative considerations that factor into instructional design and delivery. Course planning, policies, accessibility, and more are summarized for a helpful reference. Instructional strategies that use active learning and emphasize interaction are summarized including examples of activities that could replace long lectures. Time management, assessment, feedback, and setting boundaries are included--especially important for instructors that find themselves working longer hours to create content and interact with students when teaching online. This book is essential reading for any instructor in Pilates teacher training program who is contemplating moving material online.
