Pedagogy, Presence, and Motivation in Online Education

Online high school education is challenging with limited resources for teachers to turn to. In most cases, teachers rely on trial-and-error. This research-based and practitioner-focused text provides best practice techniques and utilizes analogies from brick-and-mortar education to provide a conceptual framework to a better understanding of how online education functions and how to be engage students and how to build and maintain a positive digital culture.

This book provides real-world solutions to online and hybrid educators. The aim of this is to train educators to develop online culture, healthy and inclusive communication, and how to use the online classroom environment in parallel or stand-alone with a face-to-face classroom. Engagement strategies will be discussed as well as the use of multi-tiered systems of support to engage students. The desired impact is to increase learning, growth and to prepare high school students for the next step in their academic career.
