Media Reviews
This textbook fulfills a primary need for a sophisticated, integrated yet practical resource for professionals involved in distance education. It is both theoretically grounded yet broadly appealing and accessible - an excellent example of how 'one-size' can fit both the professor and the practitioner. Dr. Janet Poley, CEO, ADEC; Dooley, Linder, and Dooley have composed an elegant text on the design and management of distance training suitable for academics and industry personnel alike. The authors bring first-hand experience to the table that results in an interesting, informative, and helpful text on the subject. The book details specific processes, case studies, and activities that will allow the reader to move from chapter to chapter, building skills so at the conclusion of the text one could indeed design and manage a distance education program. This book is a must have for all who work in distance education. Dr. Kathleen D. Kelsey, Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State University
