A large number of institutions are now providing online programs, requiring instructors to change the way they think about teaching and master a distinct set of workload management skills. The first book to discuss workload management for online instructors, "Managing Online Instructor Workload" offers practical strategies, advice, and examples for how to prioritize, balance, and manage an online teaching workload. Based on surveys and interviews, the timely and comprehensive insight in this book is essential for online instructors, instructional designers, faculty developers and others involved in online learning.
I liked this book and found it somewhat helpful. Very repetitive content. In the end there is no denying--teaching online takes more time than teaching in the face to face classroom. It is difficult not to be on call 24-7, and the many aspects of technology just take more time and add more complexity to the course and your workload. Managing time so that the instructor is no overwhelmed by online teaching is a serious challenge. I did discover a few helpful, new ideas in this text.
