Talking about learning and learning spaces, so many courses and seminars are offered over the web these days. Not only from univerisities but also from consortiums like the Education Institute which represents most provincial library associations in Canada, and provides a range of programs on many different topics utilizing audio conferencing, online courses from the desktop and webcasting technologies. They are reasonably priced. Another example is the SirsiDynix Institute which provides free programs over the web and you get podcasts of past sessions.
So with all these going on, Teach Beyond Your Reach written by Robin Neidorf and published by Information Today is recommended as “an instructor’s guide to developing and running successful distance learning classes, workshops, training sessions and more.”
