Online Education: Global Questions, Local Answers
by Kelli Cargile Cook Keith Grant-Davie24 college educators focus on the most important questions to be addressed by all scholar-teachers and administrators committed to developing high-quality online education programs. The educators describe these questions as "global" because they transcend the particular situations of individual institutions. They are questions that everyone in online education needs to address: What are the issues to consider when first developing and then sustaining an online education program? How do we create interactive, pedagogically sound online courses and classroom communities? How should we monitor and assess the quality of online courses and programs? How should recent developments and innovations in online education cause us to reexamine our roles and responsibilities as educators in technical communication? While these questions affect all of us, they demand different local answers, such as those presented by the contributors to this textbook.

She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps for slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie -- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sew beautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read.<P><P> From slavery to freedom, through segregation, freedom marches and the fight for literacy, the tradition they called Show Way has been passed down by the women in Jacqueline Woodson's family as a way to remember the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future.
