Online Education Policy and Practice examines the past, present, and future of networked learning environments and the changing role of faculty within them. As digital technologies in higher education increasingly enable blended classrooms, collaborative assignments, and wider student access, an understanding of the creation and ongoing developments of these platforms is needed more than ever. By investigating the history of online education, the rise and critique of MOOCs, the mainstreaming of social media, mobile devices, gaming in instruction, and more, this expansive book outlines a variety of potential scenarios likely to become realities in higher education over the next decade.

"Dr. Picciano accurately captures the history of online learning and provides fundamental context by situating online learning in the overall higher education landscape. This book is a must-read and a trusted resource for any higher education leader or faculty member."
--Eric Fredericksen, Associate Vice President for Online Learning and Associate Professor in Educational Leadership, University of Rochester, USA
"Picciano puts online education in the context of academic mission, outlines the progressive path the use of technology to teach has taken, and reminds us that change and adaptation are keys to survival. This book will be pulled from your shelf often as a reference and resource."
