## Description

Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes [Darby, Flower, Lang, James M.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes

Review: An important addition to online teaching resources - As an ardent admirer of Lang's Small Teaching, I was so excited to see an iteration of Small Teaching focused specifically on online teaching. The collaboration between Darby and Lang is clear throughout the book, as Darby translates the essence of Small Teaching, then infuses the concepts with examples from her extensive experience as an online teacher and instructional designer. The technique of weaving narrative into a teachable moment is what makes Lang's Small Teaching so engaging. Darby leverages this technique to reinforce learning theory and make explicit connections between Small Teaching and online teaching without becoming overly pedantic--like Lang's Small Teaching, Small Teaching Online is easy and enjoyable to read. In Chapter 2, Darby uses an example of teaching dance by focusing on the feet first, then adding in the hands. I've led professional development for online teachers in higher education for almost a decade, and have repeatedly seen both novice and experienced online teachers struggle with translating in-person techniques to the online environment. Small Teaching Online is a much needed resource for helping online teachers develop effective online course design and teaching practices by allowing them to focus on one aspect at a time (feet then hands, so to say!). Too often online teaching is overlooked because it's assumed that it is easy to modify traditional pedagogy to online modalities. Not so! Small Teaching Online is an important addition to any professional development bookshelf for online teachers and those that support online teachers. The comprehensive bibliography, alone, is worth the price. Looking forward to brown bag lunches with my colleagues to discuss this book, and share our own small teaching online insights!
Review: one of the best guides for online teachers - Whether you are new to online instruction or have been online for years, this book has something to offer. The writing is clear, and the ideas are just as implied in the title: small manageable ideas that can make a maximum impact.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important addition to online teaching resources
*by L***Z on June 20, 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best guides for online teachers
*by U***L on August 12, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful, actionable strategies -- but assumes that all online courses are asynchronous
*by M***N on August 31, 2020*

I appreciated that this is a relatively easy and quick read, with discrete and actionable strategies and the evidence behind them -- after each chapter, I stop and make notes and changes in my syllabus. I also appreciate that the strategies are all things I can do to improve or tweak my existing course instead of requiring that I start over from scratch, unlike some books I've found on this. My only frustration is that the authors seem to assume that all online courses are entirely asynchronous online, which is of course not the case -- while some are, others are synchronous online (i.e., professor and students together in a live Zoom session or such) or a hybrid between the two. Not only does this mean that the tips aren't super helpful for the synchronous parts of the course, but some of the strategies they suggest for the asynchronous parts are driven by the assumption that there will be no synchronous parts -- that students won't ever have the opportunity to ask live questions during a talk, etc.
