In this period of rapid adaptation to life within a pandemic, most teachers have had to move their classes online, despite having little to no experience holding courses in such an environment. For just such an endeavor, a great resource may be Engaging the Online Learner, written by Rita-Marie Conrad, an award-wining digital learning consultant who has worked at such prestigious universities as Duke and Berkeley, and by author J. Ana Donaldson, who updated the book to its 2011 version. Even at a first glance, it is clear that this book aims to give quick answers to pertinent questions. At just 139 pages, this is not a text meant to debate and analyze the validity of online teaching. Rather, it is a step-by-step guide to setting up and running an online course, which is great for the busy teacher that has to quickly reshape their classes.
