In this third edition, I have added two new chapters, but the book is still in two parts.
In Part 1, Chapter 1 explains what I see as e-moderating and explores it.
Chapters 2 and 3 offer a research-based model for understanding training and development for online conferencing and interaction and apply it in discussion boards and other new technologies for collaborative learning.
Chapter 4 explores the roles and competencies of e-moderators, with examples.
Chapters 5 and 6 explore key issues in training e-moderators at, respectively, the OU and All Things In Moderation Ltd.
Chapter 7 looks at the learners' experiences.
No book of this kind can resist a peek at the future, which you'll find in Chapter 8.
