{"product_id":"learning-online-barbara-means-9780415630283","title":"Learning Online: What Research Tells Us about Whether, When and How","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt a time when more and more of what people learn both in formal courses and in everyday life is mediated by technology, \u003cem\u003eLearning Online\u003c\/em\u003e provides a much-needed guide to different forms and applications of online learning. This book describes how online learning is being used in both K-12 and higher education settings as well as in learning outside of school. Particular online learning technologies, such as MOOCs (massive open online courses), multi-player games, learning analytics, and adaptive online practice environments, are described in terms of design principles, implementation, and contexts of use. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLearning Online\u003c\/em\u003e synthesizes research findings on the effectiveness of different types of online learning, but a major message of the book is that student outcomes arise from the joint influence of implementation, context, and learner characteristics interacting with technology--not from technology alone. The book describes available research about how best to implement different forms of online learning for specific kinds of students, subject areas, and contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on available evidence regarding practices that make online and blended learning more effective in different contexts, \u003cem\u003eLearning Online\u003c\/em\u003e draws implications for institutional and state policies that would promote judicious uses of online learning and effective implementation models. This in-depth research work concludes with a call for an online learning implementation research agenda, combining education institutions and research partners in a collaborative effort to generate and share evidence on effective practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Means,Marianne Bakia,Robert Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415630282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415630283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 503","brand":"Barbara Means","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136106836223,"sku":"9780415630283","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26fc43c6-ea9b-4e59-a491-12e277e86feb.jpg?v=1770160556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learning-online-barbara-means-9780415630283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
