Palloff and Pratt (authors and consultants for distance learning) provide clear, basic assistance and guidelines for teaching online based on their own and others' experiences in a readable style that includes many anecdotes. They offer tips on troubleshooting key elements such as hardware and software, developing course content, and supporting and evaluating students. Annotation c.
