Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
This online book is written for the practicing teacher and reflects this audience with a general and relatively introductory focus. Nonetheless, it captures quite well current trends in learning and some of the articles provide depth intended readers might not find elsewhere. I particularly enjoyed, for example, Geraldine O'Neill and Tim McMahon's article on student-centered teaching. Going beyond mere description or advocacy, the authors offer a good, if concise, account of support and criticism for the practice. Readers will find similar value in Terry Barret's article on problem-based learning. Good structure, good links and resources; this book will serve its audience well.
