This award-winning text (a Doody's core title), now in its third edition, integrates new, successful, digital teaching strategies with current distance education practices. Extensive revisions, eight new chapters, and an innovative interactive format facilitate the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of distance curriculum in undergraduate and graduate programs. New content promotes the goals of learning in context, developing clinical reasoning, teaching ethical comportment, teaching writing skills, evaluating the role of distance education, using wireless and mobile computing, and facilitating inter-professional education.

The text helps students to assess their current teaching strategies and try new methods in selected courses to enhance outcomes. Special features include a teacher's guide in PDF format and an interactive book editor-hosted blog, and periodically updated wikis to enhance and extend learning. Numerous examples of teaching approaches and course or program design are provided, along with vignettes of real-life distance education experiences of both teachers and students. Summaries and key points are included in each chapter. The text will also be beneficial for health care organisations that provide online continuing education.
