Simon, M. (2000).
In K. White & B. Weight (Eds.), The online teaching
guide: A handbook of attitudes, strategies, and techniques for the virtual
classroom (pp.73-82). Boston: Allyn and Bacon.
A good discussion of the elements which affect good
time management in online courses, with examples to consider using in
your own syllabus for assigning “due dates” to various learning
activities and assignments in an online course.

of Online Teaching

Interesting text on issues from learning styles

interest are the samples of an online and onground syllabus presented
in pages 165-176, although you are left to draw your own conclusions/analysis;
sample screens of online syllabi, pp. 85 and 181.
