In Going Online, one of our most respected online learning leaders offers insights into virtual education-what it is, how it works, where it came from, and where it may be headed.

Ubell says that it is not technology alone, but rather unconventional pedagogies, supported by technological innovations, that truly activate today's classrooms.

This impressive collection, drawn from Ubell's decades of experience as a digital education pioneer, presents a powerful case for embracing online learning for its transformational potential.
