Новая книга Тони Бейтса в свободном доступе


вероятно именно в этом направлении развивается книгописательство и книгоиздательство: авторы уже сейчас отдают себе отчет в том что их творения читают, дарят, дают взаймы, делают пометки, выделяют важные фрагменты, вырывают из контекста, вставляют в другой контекст, изменяют смысл, интерпретируют, деконструируют и декодируют

Тони приглашает это делать и делиться с ним своими соображениями о способах какими можно иметь дело с этим текстом и с мыслями возникающими по ходу чтения или пролистывания - отличная идея!



с посвящением от автора:

"IT’S OPEN! IT’S FREE! IT’S ONLINE! IT’S READY!

For the last two weeks I have been frantically re-editing my online open textbook, ‘Teaching in a Digital Age.’ I am relieved and pleased to announce that the book is now finished – or at least as finished as an open online textbook will be, as it’s possible, indeed essential, to continue to add or remove materials to keep it up to date. So if you get the chance, log in to the book, have a look at it, and, if you can find the time, send me your comments.


The target group

The audience I am reaching out for are primarily:

college and university instructors anxious to improve their teaching or facing major challenges in the classroom,
school teachers, particularly in secondary or high schools anxious to ensure their students are ready for either

post-secondary education or a rapidly changing and highly uncertain job market.
Different ways to use the book


The book will download in epub, pdf, and mobi versions, so it can be printed out or the whole book can be downloaded, for straightforward reading.

It can also be downloaded in xHTML, Pressbooks XML, or WordPress XML from the home page, so it can be edited or adapted for secondary use.

The book is written on the assumption that most reading will be done in chunks of one hour or less, so each section of a chapter can be completed in one hour at the maximum (some sections will be much shorter).

There are many different ways this book could be used. Here are some suggestions:

straight read through (over several days) for personal use by individual teachers and instructors: this is probably the least likely use, but there is a logical sequence and a continuous, coherent argument that builds up through the book;

specific chapters or sections that are useful or timely can be read by individual faculty or teachers, more as a reference or for a specific purpose, and other sections or chapters can then be read as needed;
teachers or instructors can do the activities that follow most sections, mainly for personal reflection, but also to compare their responses to either mine or other readers;

the book can be used, whole or in parts, as the core reading for an online course (or part of a course) on how to teach in a digital age. The activities I have suggested can be included, or, if you use one of the editing formats (XHTML, Pressbooks XML or WordPress XML), you can replace the activities with your own;

use the book, in parts or as a whole, as preparation for faculty development or pro-d workshops
take sections or parts of the book, and combine them with your own materials, for either an online course or for faculty development/pro-d. See more details

Over to you

As I said, an online, open textbook is dynamic, not static. Changes are possible at any time. Your feedback then will be of immense value, not just to me, but also to future readers. What have I missed? Is the structure clear? Is it appropriate for the target audience? Is it useful to you, and if so, in what ways? Above all, can you help me to reach beyond instructional designers, and enthusiasts for online learning, into the main body of instructors and teachers? Can you pass the word on? What would you recommend I do to get to the target audience? As always, your help will be so much appreciated. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy reading the book."
