This is alternately a short book, or a series of short viideos, or a 12-day online course. It introduces some of the major (and current) ideas in online learning. Each chapter is a short video, some text, a suggested activity, and some supplemental resources. It comes from a good place, and these are the topics people should be thinking about. Some of the resource selections are odd, though. I'm not sure a one-hour video was the best choice to accompany 'Keep it Simple'. The Terry Heick resource seems to have very little to do with presence (maybe something by Anderson might have been better?). Is a resource on 'alternatives to grading' the best choice for a section on 'assessment for the web'? And while there's only a single short article from Inside Higher Ed to cover 'engagement', there's a whole course worth of resources for 'work together' (it's a fantastic collection, but maybe should have been referenced differently).
