Web-Based Instruction details how faculty members can design web-based and web-assisted instructional delivery approaches to provide students with the opportunity to learn anytime and anyplace. It stresses the paradigm shift in using technology as an alternative instructional delivery tool but recognizes that the course design and delivery method must maintain the principles of good teaching practices and academic rigor. The book examines how to win student respect and trust, provide support systems, and transition from the classroom-based approach, and it includes examples of course designs, as well as student feedback systems. James Van Keuren takes the frustration out of designing and implementing alternative instructional delivery approaches that do not rely on face-to-face contact. He also creates a step-by-step process for shifting from a teacher-centered to a more student-centered learning environment.
