| Summary |
This work examines new roles for libraries and librarians, discussing techniques for managing classrooms on the Internet. Each chapter explores a specific facet of distance education that librarians need to understand so that they can plan and implement services for distance learners and teachers. After a chapter explaining synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, a variety of distance learning models are described, and suggestions are given for designing services for distance education students and teachers. Braun is an educational technology consultant working with schools and libraries. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR. |
