An Administrator's Guide to Online Education is an essential resource for the higher education administrator.
Unlike most books regarding online education, this book is not about teaching; it is about effectively administrating
an online education program. Grounded in existing distance education theory, and drawing from best practices, current
research, and an extensive review of current literature, An Administrator's Guide to Online Education systematically
identifies and discusses seven key issues that affect the practice of online education today: leadership and strategic
planning, policy and operation, faculty, online student services, online student success, technology and the courseware
management system, and finally marketing. Throughout the text, the authors provide case studies, examples, policies,
and resources from actual institutions, which further enhance the value of this text. An Administrator's Guide
to Online Education, encompasses the issues and provides information on how to accomplish one specific task: successful
online education administration.
