The Spring of 2020 saw educational institutions around the world abruptly convert to online teaching formats. While this transition may be unfamiliar―and even uncomfortable―the skills and techniques needed to engage and empower online learners can be learned and mastered to serve the current and ever-expanding need.

The book distills decades of research in adult learning and education to provide evidence-based strategies that directly and practically apply to online environments.
