The first edition of E-moderating was published in May 2000, and the second edition in January 2004.
The third edition, May 2011, offers a renewed and refreshed (rather than dramatically changed) vision of the role, the training and development of the online teacher, trainer, facilitator- the person I call the e-moderator. The online technologies have moved on quite a bit too.
I have drawn on my own experience and research in online learning, as well as that of many other people. I have selected case studies and experiences where the storyteller is the academic, teacher or e-moderator involved, where implementation occurred within the regular learning and teaching situation, and where there was some evaluation or at least serious reflection on practice.
The book will provide you with support in thinking through your online teaching, for your topic, your subject, your organization, your programme, your teaching practice and your learners. This is the way to take part and shape the future of teaching and learning online - through the actions of the e-moderators.
I hope E-mod 3 will help to make the online world a more social, supportive and dynamic place - good luck and report back please!
