Teaching and Training Online

Technology-Enriched Teaching and Learning.FutureU offers a wide variety of resources for teaching and training online, including downloadable e-books, self-paced web-based training (which we call "web books"), and instructor-led online courses.

The content of these e-books, web books, and online courses is equally applicable to universities, colleges, schools and school districts—on the one hand—and organizational training departments—on the other—or even to individuals who would like to launch their own web-based school or training company.

The most current version of this content is oriented toward participants from an education audience, but we have also presented it to corporations, governement and health care organizations.

The facilitators for the discussions that support the ebooks and web books and the instructors who lead the courses make a point of personalizing the learning experience so that even if you see yourself more as an instructor or trainer than a teacher or faculty memeber and if you see your participants more as learners or trainees than as students, you will still greatly benefit and be able to immediatly apply what you learn here.

Downloadable E-Books

  • Bargain Hunter's Guide
    to Building Your Course Web Site.

    This is a perennial favorite with a newly minted version just out for 2009. It consists of a downloadable PDF file supported by an identical 15-page website and supporting discussion forum, so that you can access the information even if you are not connected to the net. It consists of a description of the main challenges in building an online course and suggestions for how to overcome them with dozens of links to helpful resources, both information and free or low-cost software.

Self-Paced,
     Web-Based Training

  • Student Web Book:
    Make the Most of Learning Online.

    This 34-page website is the equivalent of 210 8.5" x 11" printed pages. It is made up of 11 chapters, 5 electures, 9 study notes, 5 checklists, and a "Student Learning Kit" containing dozens of useful reference and resource links to aid learners in their studies. Checkout the Tables of contents for Part 1 and Part 2.


    • Usually this web book is used as a reader for a student preparedness program, but for learners who are on their own, we also provide a free discussion forum—included in the purchase price of the book—where online learners can support each other in completing the learning activities provided in the book.

  • Faculty Web Book:
    Make the Most of Teaching Online.

    Volume 1: Understanding the Student View is a specially annotated 41-page website, a good deal larger than the Student Web Book described above because of the annotations addressed to instructors about the finer points of teaching the content. This volume is made up of 10 of the same 11 chapters as the Student Web Book, complete with all the electures, study notes, checklists, and "Student Learning Kit." Checkout the Tables of contents for Volume 1.

    Volume 2: Plan and Create a Technology-Enriched Course is all about that and is made up of a 40-page website containing 7 chapters, 1 electure, 14 study notes, 5 checklists, and 1 slideware presentation on "Learning and Teaching Online." It is the equivalent of 171 printed 8.5" x 11" pages. Check out the contents of Volume 2.


    • The Faculty Web Book has a free discussion forum included in the purchase price of the book and also a low-cost subscription-based community of practice website to support those who choose to apply the contents and share what they learn.
