Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced the launch of The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education.
While some consider online learning to be the future of education, others question the value of classroom instruction that occurs outside of the traditional classroom setting. How is the growing trend of online learning affecting educational systems globally, and what does it mean for administrators, faculty, and students? Launching as a three-volume set, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education addresses an array of issues related to online learning with a central focus on the effective education of students.
Interdisciplinary in scope, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education includes more than 350 entries on key topics such as technology used in the online classroom; institutions that have contributed to the growth of online education; pedagogical strategies of online education; effectiveness and assessment; and different types of online education and best practices.
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Online Education includes a Reader's Guide that groups entries by category to help readers find specific information. The text also includes appendices that include demographic data on distance education, academic leaders' opinions on this type of learning, a list of online education books and journals, and a review of distance education policy standards.
