It dawned on me on me reading the first three chapters of this book that the design of Small Teaching, both Lang’s original and Darby’s Online update, is to present teaching tips in the small format, just enough for instructors to want to find out more, being the obsessive information hoarders they are. It is impossible to be exhaustive on educational technologies other than get a bit each time.

The purpose of this final section aims to inspire confidence that learners will learn and teachers can teach in online spaces as long as they consider the differences from everything learned so far about in-person pedagogy. The best advice running through the book is to take on changes as small steps rather than a complete do over. For a book published in 2019, Darby wisely alerts iffy instructors of online ubiquity.

Extending the timeline of successful online teaching back to the very early days of computing at the start of the 20th century, Darby cleverly called upon Vygotsky as a guide for supporting the humans in the virtual classroom. Many of the strategies she then goes on to mention as way of scaffolding these students leaves the instructor with the onerous task of preparing for every bolt and nut supporting the structure.
