Reseña del libro "English Studies Online: Programs, Practices, Possibilities (en Inglés)"
"This timely collection addresses a longstanding need for a more comprehensive treatment of online teaching in English Studies. The authors of each chapter explore matters of course or degree program design and discuss a variety of local, specific assessments of those. Their detailed scrutiny of these processes demonstrates that thoughtfully designed online education can contribute meaningfully and positively to a liberal arts education. Readers who believe there's little future for them in online education, or those still reeling from the abrupt shift to remote instruction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, should explore this text to learn how a deliberately integrated approach to online teaching can benefit both their students and themselves." -SUSAN LANG, The Ohio State University "This is a particularly timely publication! We've all seen what happens when a shift to online learning happens without much planning or preparation and as we are now starting to recover from that process, this collection offers excellent advice and a method for a considered response to that unanticipated shift. Any instructor or program that will continue to teach online will find these chapters full of useful information - it's a must-read especially for programs that are developing or expanding their online offerings." -DOUGLAS EYMAN, George Mason University "ENGLISH STUDIES ONLINE has much to offer for the wide range of educators involved with what might indeed collectively be called "English Studies Online." Banks and Spangler have assembled thoughtful essays to provide help, methods, and models for those administering and teaching in English studies, and these chapters provide approaches to using digital technology while never losing sight of the perspectives, philosophies, and grounding ethics that define humanistic teaching-or, as Banks and Spangler say in the introduction, the larger questions about 'how online learning spaces might serve to open up and democratize higher education.'" -SCOTT WARNOCK, Drexel University The original essays in ENGLISH STUDIES ONLINE showcase the successful programs and high-impact practices that English faculty have developed and implemented across online contexts to engage a new generation of learners.
