Online Teaching Guide, The: A Handbook of Attitudes,
Strategies, and Techniques for the Virtual Classroom
Online Teaching Guide, The: A Handbook of Attitudes, Strategies,
and Techniques for the Virtual Classroom (Paperback). Building Learning Communities in Cyberspace :
Effective Strategies for the Online Classroom "The
authors point out many ways that online learners share in the
responsibility for building and maintaining a sense of
community."
The Complete Reference: HTML & XHTML, published by
Osborne/McGraw-Hill. The fourth edition of this book represents
a significant change in order to fully embrace XHTML. Although
the previous edition presented XHTML, most of the examples were
still in HTML 4 with explanations about differences with XHTML.
Today the situation is reversed with the primary focus on the
future of markup with XHTML, CSS and XML rather than the past,
filled with tricks and messy table code. -
