Description and Table of Contents
Description
Since publication of the first edition of "Web-Based Instruction", many significant advances in Web-based instruction have occurred. New technologies and tools have emerged, different ways of accessing the Internet are available, and virtual reference trends are redefining some library users' idea of the "library", and information literacy skills are recognized as essential to students' success. Furthermore, after writing the first edition, the author received feedback from readers on areas they'd like to see expanded. For example, public, K-12, and special libraries indicated they'd like more on Web-based instruction in their areas. Also, more discussion on pedagogy and learning styles was recommended. Expanding on the popular, practical how-to Web guide for public, academic, school and special libraries, technology expert Smith has thoroughly updated the discussion to include new tools and trends, including browsers, access methods, hardware, and software programs. She also supplies tips to secure project funding, and provides strategic information for different libraries types, including K-12, public, academic, and corporate libraries.
This completely revised edition also: includes a new section on learning theory applied to Web-based instruction; translates Web-speak and defines the lingo, with expanded glossary and acronym list; illustrates new procedures with fresh screen shots and URLs from top library Web programs; addresses the limitations and benefits of Web-based instruction with clear criteria for decision-making; takes a comprehensive step-by-step approach to developing, implementing, and assessing Web-based instruction programs; and identifies the authoring tools and resources required to be effective. A proven winner, this thoroughly updated hands-on manual is a must-have for owners of the first edition. Librarians facing the challenge of creating a Web-based project will find easy-to-understand guidance to create an educational and interactive Web site - from start to finish.
